Millions of people will look to the sky in America on Monday and see a solar eclipse.

When the moon briefly blocks out the sun, it will draw one of the largest audiences in human history, according to experts.

Add those watching via social media and live streaming services and the spectacle is set to smash records.

But instead of just going out to your garden to see it, people are hosting eclipse parties.

Yes, these people are actually having cosmic parties with themed food and handing out special glasses for viewing.

Some Americans are preparing meals of sun tea and moon pies in celebration of the once in 100 years event.

Many people have taken to social media to say how much they are really looking forward to seeing the special event.

There are plenty of solar system tunes to play at the parties. Spotify has made a six-hour eclipse-inspired playlist.

Nasa let its interns pick out some of the best tunes to listen to, including Galaxies by Owl City.

And there is even eclipse merchandise.

Celebrities are getting involved, too.

Another star has aligned with this rare astronomical event.

Passengers on board a Caribbean cruise ship will be treated to a performance of the apt song A Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, right at the time of the eclipse.

It was a hit for her back in 1983 and Joe Jonas will also be there.

Oh and of course animals can't miss out.

Apparently your eyes can get damaged if you don't wear them, and there are warnings over counterfeits going around.
