The Times of India · breaking-news

NASA will study a total solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, by flying at 460mph. Eighty-six balloons will measure changes in Earth's atmosphere during the sudden darkness. This unique event aims to explore the Sun and understand how atmospheric conditions are affected by the eclipse. The phenomenon causes birds to stop chirping and temperatures to drop, creating a strange twilight.
