Buyer beware!
Fake eclipse glasses are hitting the market.
Here's how to tell if yours are real:

Both glasses could be hard to tell apart because they have similar text and artwork, according to the American Astronomical Society.
The list of real manufacturers and resellers can be found on their website: eclipse.aas.org.
The AAS recommended only buy from sites you can reach by clicking the links on that list.
