Eclipse Glasses Test:
NASA says before you take your eclipse glasses out to the main event, do the following checks to make sure they’re safe to use.
First, find a bright light – like a lamp or flashlight – then hold your eclipse glasses up to the light and look through them. The light should appear extremely dim or not at all.
"You should only be able to see the filament of a light bulb, but not the glow surrounding the bulb,"
If your eclipse glasses have any marks or scratches on them, throw them away.
