The solar eclipse may not have been visible from down here in Australia, but the memes certainly were! Twitter was ablaze with amazing photographs and the hottest takes about Donald Trump staring at the celestial phenomenon without protective eyewear. Here’s how the internet reacted.
It’s true, when one celestial body blocks out another celestial body you get incredible, beautiful photos

This image is actually from 2012, but it’s too cool not to share:

Trump went for the No Glasses approach, despite the fact that’s scientifically proven to destroy your vision, and people tore him to shreds

When I woke up today I knew without a doubt that I would be seeing pictures of trump looking directly at the eclipse. I just knew it.

I just want someone to look at me the way President Donald Trump looks directly into the sun during an eclipse pic.twitter.com/BDpuqJG3dZ

This is what the POTUS might be seeing now…
Looking at the sun today without eclipse glasses can burn your retina and leave a dark spot in your vision for life. Don’t be dumb & retweet pic.twitter.com/qBx6P46njV

Overall, it was nice that, even though living in Australia means we weren’t on the right part of planet Earth to see the eclipse, some people were able to capture it for us
For those not in North America, this is what the eclipse might look like pic.twitter.com/GwKldjK3MR
