Here are Twitter's best reactions to the 2017 solar eclipse

From serious to silly, people were in a sharing mood on Monday

The 2017 solar eclipse, possibly the most anticipated event of the year, came and went on Monday with a heavy dose of excitement, wonder, fear and humor.

From around the world, buzz and jokes about the eclipse poured in on Twitter. Let's take a look at the best of what was shared on Monday (Read the Donald Trump-only edition here).ย
