I'll be seeing around 80%, even that though is enough to block out the light.
One thing for those parents with naughty children. Don't tell your child not to look at the sun if they are a rebel. I remember well always having to look at it after my mother told me not to, probably 1968, 1969. That didn't hurt at all!
Buy them the CORRECT glasses.
WARNING: Fake protection glasses:
These "eclipse glasses" are cheap — maybe $1 or $2 each — but if you use bad glasses you risk burning your retina. Injuries might be temporary or longer-term. Improper viewing of the sun during an eclipse could cause "eclipse blindness" or retinal burns.
Special solar filters enable you to look at the partially eclipsed sun. Typically, consumers should look for the stamp of approval from the International Organization for Standardization or ISO and a label indicating that the product meets the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard.
But it's important to realize that the con artists are printing the ISO logo and certification label on sham solar glasses and handheld solar viewers.
"Don't just search for eclipse glasses on the Internet and buy whatever comes up," warned Rick Fienberg, press officer for the American Astronomical Society.
