Solar eclipse glasses will be available to community guests for a suggested cash donation of $1/pair, while supplies last, at the Brown Planetarium Lobby. Limit 10 pairs per person. Ball State students, faculty, and staff will have the opportunity to get their own eclipse glasses at distribution sites across campus closer to the eclipse.
