SIR,—In a recent "Broad Spectrum" article (PJ, March 18, p440, John Wilson wrote that solar eclipse glasses were apparently "not at all on sale in Germany". They were.
Certificate approved solar eclipse glasses were on sale in all German pharmacies and were also widely available in petrol stations, supermarkets, etc. The glasses were then collected via the local schools and sent to Africa, where the next total solar eclipse is due to be observed.
