In our year 2024, the magnitude of cultural events is measured in memes: the internet is still shaking from a 4.8-scale earthquake that hit New Jersey last weekend (“We Will Rebuild,” users said of crooked picture frames and disheveled pillows). Today, though, all other internet conversation was eclipsed by the 2024 Solar Eclipse — and now that the event has passed, it’s time to take off our protective glasses and stare directly into our phone screens. Keep reading for the best memes and tweets from the 2024 Solar Eclipse. New Jersey won’t see another one until 2078, but there’s a sufficient amount of internet content to last us until then.

I can relate to this solar eclipse because I also want to be the center of attention, but don’t want anyone to look directly at me
