USA, California, Redding, Digital composite view of annular solar eclipse on May 20, 2012. Seven separate exposures were made twenty minutes apart and combined into one image.

If you walked outside during the middle of the day on Monday, April 8, you may have noticed something peculiar: It was a whole lot darker than it usually is.

Millions of people watched the solar eclipse on April 8, particularly those within the celestial event’s “path of totality” — a.k.a. when the moon’s shadow completely covered up the sun. It was a spectacular showing of nature’s most incredible forces. Unsurprisingly, the internet reacted with some good posts.

Starting with @NASAMoon, the official X / Twitter account for NASA’s moon, blocking @NASAsun. That’s funny.

Here’s what else the internet had to offer on eclipse day.
