Free glasses in New York run out due to eclipse

New York City will have various events to view the partial eclipse, such as viewing it from the heights of the Rockefeller skyscraper or from the Greenwood Park cemetery in Brooklyn, with the Manhattan skyline on the horizon.

The expectation that there is this Monday for the solar eclipse in parts of Mexico, the United States and Canada, – which will be partially seen in New York City -, meant that with a few hours left for the moon to cover the sun, The free glasses to see the solar eclipse that the city libraries gave for free have run out.

“Please note that the New York public library no longer has glasses to view the solar eclipse. All branches have distributed their supplies,” the largest public library system in the US, with 92 locations in the Big Apple, notes in X .

Since early in the morning, lines have been seen in some of the city’s libraries to get the glasses and, with just a few hours left before the big event, posters now hang from the doors of most New York libraries in which it reads: “We no longer have glasses to see the eclipse.”

To watch this phenomenon, you must use eclipse glasses and make sure they meet international standards, since looking directly at the sun can damage your eyes.
