TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Every one is getting ready for the eclipse next week.

But first make sure to get the right kind of glasses if you plan on watching the upcoming total solar eclipse.

Experts say the safe ones need to have the so-called "ISO certification" displayed on them.

NASA recommends only the brands approved by the american astronomical society. The organization has the list of vendors that sell approved glasses on its website.

Experts say you should not try to watch the eclipse with naked eye, unless the sun is completely covered by the moon.

They also say that regular sun glasses do not provide enough protection.
