An animated Google Doodle celebrates winter solstice and the great conjunction. It suggests one to keep eyes to the skies for the current ‘great conjunction’ of Saturn and Jupiter.
In the Northern Hemisphere, Google, in collaboration with NASA, has replaced their homepage logo. December, this year, 21 marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. On December 21 an incredible, astronomic event known as the ‘great conjunction’ is on the display. Jupiter and Saturn will come within 0.1 degrees of each other. The great conjunction occurs roughly every 20 years. Google has collaborated with NASA to craft an animated Doodle depicting the great conjunction. Doodle shows Cartoon Saturn and Jupiter meeting up for a quick high five. It also shows the winter solstice as the literally ‘snow capped’ Earth watching the other two planets.
