According to the Android O’s webpage it will be live streaming the event from New York at 2:40 pm. which will run next to Nasa's feed on their website. Pixel owners will be the first to get the sweet taste of the new release. The informative website provides an eclipse tracker for fans in the US. Making the most of these two events,Google will also have a Megamovie Project where Google will stitch all the footage gathered from over 1000 volunteers across the eclipse path.
