Google Doodle featuring the X-rays
Google Doodle is back. And this time, I can “feel” some radiation.
An X-ray film in Google’s homepage!
Google obviously loves technology. After celebrating the discovery of Buckyball two months ago, the search engine giant is back with another pleasing way of celebrating a technological breakthrough.
Google transformed its iconic logo into a gif animation of an X-ray film showing Google’s “bones” and stomach filled with things like a rubber duck, a key and marbles. So cute.
What’s with the doodle?
Google wants you (I mean us) to know that tomorrow is the 115th anniversary of the discovery of X-radiation, or popularly known as X-rays.
Wikipedia time!
According to X-rays’ wikipedia entry, German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen stumbled on X-rays while experimenting with Lenard and Crookes tubes November 8, 1895. After that he began studying them.
Röntgen discovered the medical use of X-rays when he saw a picture of his wife’s hand on a photographic plate formed due to X-rays. His wife’s hand’s photograph was the first ever photograph of a human body part using X-rays.
Celebrating also means commemorating
Love Google’s X-Rays doodle? Then read something about ‘X-rays,’ that’s the main goal of the company. And for those people who missed this cute thing, I recorded a video of it and for a quick reference, the total file size of Google’s X-rays doodle is 66KB, in GIF format:
