This cool tool from NASA tells you how close to total your view of today's solar eclipse will be. I'm quite pleased with my 93.8 percent, in some seven hours and change!

I just looked RIGHT AT THE SUN (for practice) using my official NSF glasses (given away at my public library--apparently many libraries were doing this), and I am happy to report they WORK and I'm not blind, and the sun through them, right now, is a lovely orange ball.
(comments turned off--just wanted really to share the NASA tool)
