To coincide with the total eclipse today, Google will be holding their reveal event for Android 8.0 O at the same time.
Head on over to www.Android.com/O for lots of eclipse based sneaks and facts as well as a few interactive maps showing where we can see the partial eclipse here in uk

Thanks for the link @viridis that's a very interesting and informative site. Partial eclipse here around 7.39pm to 8.24pm. Very much doubt I will be able to see it though.
