  "account": "On August 12, 2026, a rare total solar eclipse will be visible in parts of northern Russia, Greenland, Iceland, Spain and Portugal. The path of totality will pass through the northernmost regions of Russia before sweeping across the other locations mentioned. India will not experience this celestial event as the Moon's shadow will not fall over the country. The last total solar eclipse visible from India will be on August 2, 2027, when the shadow will cross southern Spain, northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with totality lasting six minutes and 23 seconds.",
  "summary": "Solar eclipse 2026 live updates: Daylight will briefly turn into darkness on Wednesday as the Moon completely covers the Sun. It will be visible either partially or in totality across Europe and parts of the US. However, it will occur at night in India and will not be visible from the country.",
