32 Partial Solar Eclipse Captions For A Celestial Event That's Out-Of-This-World

by Marisa Casciano

Let's get out of this world. Summer is coming to a close, and you're already feeling a bit blue. You feel like every single planet must be in retrograde right now, and are trying to figure out how on Earth you're going to get your to-do list done. Keep your chin up! On Aug. 11, there's going to be a partial solar eclipse, so that's something to look forward to. Of course, you need some partial solar eclipse captions, because such a rad celestial event can't go unnoticed on social media. Lucky for you and your 'Gram, I've got you covered no matter what's happening in the galaxy.

For those of you who don't know, a solar eclipse is when the moon crosses over the sun. One celestial body covers the other, and for a minute, it feels like the lights went out, because the Earth is in a shadow. Unfortunately, this year, we won't get to truly experience the dark side, because only partial eclipses will take place. According to Space.com, these events essentially look like our lunar friend ate a small piece of this flaming star. (Flamin' Hot Cheetos, please step aside. There's a new snack in space.)

If you ask me, anything that's going on in our galaxy is pretty cool. Our universe is so large and expansive, and events like this make you realize how insignificant your worries really are. Especially when Mercury is in retrograde, you want nothing more than to moonwalk away from all of your problems. In fact, you'd buy plane tickets to an entirely different planet if it were possible. For now, you'll settle for an eclipse, though, and posting a picture that's out-of-this-world on social media. Don't forget a caption, OK?

Grab those Cheetos and at least one of these captions. Life can be stressful sometimes, but in my opinion, there's nothing that the moon and a few snacks can't solve. Your wildest dreams are waiting on the other side of this eclipse, thanks to this event happening in Leo. So, keep your chin up and your feet down on Earth for a little while longer. If nothing else, looking up means you won't miss out on yet another celestial show.
