  "account": "London residents will observe a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, with around 90 percent of the Sun's light blocked during peak time. The Royal Museums Greenwich predicts this will be the best celestial event in the UK since 1999. To witness the event, one can go to vantage points like Primrose Hill, Parliament Hill, or the Royal Observatory Greenwich. Several viewing parties are scheduled at venues like Horizon 22, Kloku by Endo, City Cruises London, and ZipWorld at the ArcelorMittal Orbit. It is crucial to wear ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or use pinhole projectors to safely watch the solar eclipse and protect one's eyes. Another solar eclipse will not occur in London until 2050, while a total solar eclipse is forecasted for September 23, 2090.",
