Crowds around the U.S. gathered to witness the solar eclipse as it made its way across the country on the afternoon of Aug. 21. Stars were no different, taking to social media to share their excitement.
Lady Gaga had a message for any extraterrestrial beings who might be crossing Earth’s path. Stephen Colbert prepared eclipse cookies. Lin-Manuel Miranda hung out on a roof with his pinhole camera. Anna Kendrick banked on some solid smartphone photos to tide her over. And B.J. Novak asked the most important question in the wake of totality.
Check out our favorite celebrity reactions to the eclipse below.

I'm gonna miss the eclipse and I'm really worried no one is gonna post a crappy picture of it on instagram.

Be careful who you hook up with today. Everyone looks good when you're wearing eclipse glasses.
