Get Your Free Hackaday Eclipse Glasses »]( Paper Glasses Never Looked This Good By [Mike Szczys]( If you're in the United States and plan to look at the Sun during the full solar eclipse on Monday, do it while proudly wearing the Jolly Wrencher. We had a lot of eclipse glasses printed up and we're sending them out for free to anyone who puts a pin on our eclipse map. Just tell us where you'll be watching the eclipse by going to the [Eclipse Meetups page]( and clicking "Host a Meetup". Make your page and we'll hit you up for shipping address and number of glasses. You can decide if you want others to join you or not, we just want to see where everyone in the Hackaday Community will be when the Earth, Moon, and Sun all align.
