Even the stars were in awe of the solar eclipse Sunday!

Celebs took to their Twitter accounts to share their experience of the rare "ring of fire" solar eclipse, in which the moon passes in front of the sun leaving only a bright ring around its edges. The continental United States won't witness another eclipse for five years, and stars like Demi Moore, Katy Perry and Sarah Hyland did not want to miss out!

Glee star Chris Colfer was especially excited to witness the event. "Solar eclipse! Solar eclipse!" he tweeted. "Anyone else watching it through four pairs of sunglasses?"
