The once-in-a-lifetime annular solar eclipse took place on Dec. 26, 2019, and Singaporeans stopped in their tracks to turn skyward to track the slow movement of the moon over the sun.
There has been no shortage of photos of the unusual phenomenon on social media.
Which, unsurprisingly, led to the next standard course of action: Memes.
The surefire creativity of Singaporeans, when it kicks in, will win the day and internet anytime, so without further ado, here's a compilation of some of the best memes that spawned from this celestial event.
Eclipse puns
Naturally, you'll have memes with the actual logo of Eclipse mints superimposed over the actual eclipse.
Along with this rather great video.
Justice Bao
There's also this creative take on Justice Bao's Bao Zheng with a very appropriately positioned crescent moon.
Pop culture
Some shots of the eclipse masked as superhero signals and logos.
"Turn around, bright eyes..." is a pretty relevant lyric in this situation.
Truly Singaporean
And maybe even some created to display one's innermost desires.
One even took a jab at the recent news of civil servants getting a "lower" year-end bonus amid economic uncertainties -- a generous payout compared to private sector companies that don't even give 13th month bonus.
Max effort
And for some who might have been too busy to leave their office or home to snap shots of the phenomenon, here are some "custom" shots of the eclipse.
This one though, really takes the cake.
A+ for effort.
