Friends, it is happening. On Monday, the moon will pass between the sun for the first total solar eclipse visible from North America since 1979.

Perhaps you don't care. That's fine! More eclipse glasses for the rest of us.

Or perhaps, like the nail art aficionados of Instagram, you care so much that you're willing to sit patiently while a nail technician carefully blots a solar corona onto your index finger. Tagged with the hashtag #EclipseNails, photos of space-inspired nail art offer a delightful peek at how Americans are celebrating Monday's event.

Consider these photos beauty inspiration for the next solar eclipse (visible to the U.S.) in 2024.
