History of Google Doodles

Google Doodles have become one of the hallmark creative spirits for the search engine since 1998. These started off as static designs meant to celebrate specific events but have developed into interactive, dynamic experiences, including all types of cultural festivals to scientific breakthroughs. All this was done to keep the user in touch with Google in a fun, learning environment.

The Creativity of Google Doodles

Every Google Doodle is a collaboration between designers, engineers, and cultural experts. The Half Moon Doodle showcases the intricate balance of art and education that delivers astronomical knowledge to an international audience through engaging gameplay. The capacity of this doodle game to balance fun and learning shows how innovative Google has been in their approach.

The Lunar Cycle and Importance

The doodle game is also a mini lesson in astronomy as it teaches users about the eight phases of the moon, namely, new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The phases occur every 29.5 days, thus representing the influence of the lunar cycle on the tides of Earth, its ecosystems, and even on human cultural practices.

Access to the Global Stage and Wallpapers

The Google Doodle is available globally, so everybody can celebrate this lunar experience from anywhere. Google has also created a downloadable “Half Moon Rises” wallpaper for fans to personalize their devices.
