This post goes out to Vale! We both love Google and we love it because of the home page.
A couple months ago I started taking screenshots of all the Google logos I came across. Here they are. If you know what they were for please let me know!

| The great lunar eclipse of 2011 is happening right now (June 15, 2011), a majestic phenomenon that occurs when the moon, passing through Earth's shadow, turns an eerie, rusty red because of sunlight bent by Earth's distorting atmosphere. Except that today's eclipse not visible from North America. So the Google home page is using it as its Google Doodle, showing the eclipse almost in real time, from cameras in South Africa, Dubai and the Canary Islands. The picture, says Google, updates every two minutes. You'll have to refresh the page on your browser (press F5 if you have a Windows computer; Command-R on an Apple) to see the new images. They'll change slowly over the five hours the eclipse lasts. If the eclipse is well along by the time you tune in, try the slider that's part of the Google Doodle. You'll find you can play the images back and forth as a time-lapse movie, watching Earth's shadow move across the moon's face. |
