  "account": "The upcoming total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, will not be visible from the United States. Instead, a portion of the country will experience a partial solar eclipse, where the moon will block a portion of the sun but not completely. This means the sky won't go completely dark, but viewers can still see the sun transform into a crescent shape. The event will begin in Alaska at 7:34 a.m. Alaska Standard Time and end on the East Coast at 2:52 p.m. ET. To safely observe the eclipse, viewers in the United States must use specialized solar viewers or eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 safety standard to prevent eye damage.",
