It’s not just your Facebook friends. It seemed the whole country — including a lot of Hollywood stars — was keyed up about the solar eclipse, which crossed the United States from coast to coast on Monday.

They had their glasses ready. They had their themed snacks. They had Bonnie Tyler fever (and jokes!). Let’s see which stars obsessed over the astronomical event.

“How amazing was that?” wrote Reese Witherspoon, rocking her robe on the set.

Olivia Munn watched it go down along with her dog Frankie.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas enjoyed it with their kids. Fun fact: She says she’s related to Bonnie Tyler, so perhaps that’s why she went all out.

Special events call for special Nirvana tees, according to Amanda Seyfried.

Nikki Reed came out of her month-long, post-baby social media hiatus to share a shot of Ian Somerhalder wearing several pairs of shades while looking up at the sky. “Honey you sure you can see through those?!” she wrote. “The only way to watch the solar eclipse brought to you by my husband, inventor of all things practical.” We hope at least one pair had the special frames, as we’ve learned that regular shades won’t prevent eye damage.

Kristen Bell had a viewing party on a NYC street.

Karlie Kloss modeled her “eyewear by NASA.

“Total eclipse of the heart,” wrote Kim Kardashian as she snuggled North and Saint.

It was also a group thing for Danica McKellar, of Wonder Years fame. Though her son was … distracted. “Maybe there was a bug flying by?” she joked.

Yup, Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is still a riot. Along with this photo of him with binoculars, he wrote, “We don’t get the ‘total’ eclipse here in Vancouver, so I brought my special eclipse goggles! This is awesome! Just to think, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all my years had gone by.”

Charlie Sheen can always find something to cheers. Today, it was the eclipse. “Well done Sun!? ? Well done Moon!? ?CHEERS!!?” he wrote with the hashtag? ?”#CataractParty.”

Someone, who apparently didn’t find it up to snuff, took pity on her and loaned her some glasses. (Though all anyone could talk about in the comments of this photo was how she had food in her teeth.)

Someone took pity on me and my shoebox projector. I wanted to say my projector was just as good. It wasn't.

Bill Nye the Science Guy would not miss it. “Experiencing an eclipse changes the way we feel about space and how we are connected,” he wrote. “I hope this moment reminds us all that we share a common origin among the stars, and that we are all citizens of the same planet.”

Elementary co-stars Lucy Liu and Jonny Lee Miller peeped together.
