I do look forward to the creative look that Google produces on auspicious occasions.
What I would love to know is how they do this. Does someone out there know? If so is there an online tutorial on how to combine letters with pictures.
I have tried to find this information, but I am unsure just what the correct wording is. I can find tutorials of pictures within letters, but not as Google does with pictures attached to the letters.

Thank you for that Irene - very helpful, and no StephanieD I wont get excited! To tell the truth I cant actually gaze up into the night sky at the best of times. I get a shiver of "fear" for want of another word when I do so. It must be the unfathomable sense of vastness or something bigger than all of us! Not sure what it is.
As a child I used to be scared of looking up into the night sky.
I still do have a slight nervousness when I ever look for a comet, etc or just looking for a planet. The moon doesnt worry me as that distance is finite I guess.

Isn't that just lovely! I'm one of those people who comes onto the FL forum fairly early in the morning so sometimes miss these google alerts until the next day. In that case, google nz has usually reverted to the normal, plain variety, so I go to [www.google.ca]. Canada being in the northern hemisphere are between 16 and 21 hours behind us and I get to see the decorated headings that way.

I would probably have missed it today, thanks for that Margaret. Usually when I wave Mr Mouse over the Gooogle insignia it gives a brief description of what it's depicting - but that's not happening on this one! When I double clicked it I get sites for 'unexplained-mysteries, paranormal phenomena' so it must be an anniversary of some sort.
Regards,
Dawn.

Dawn, here's an explanation for why Google didn't put a brief description on their doodle yesterday. I have no idea what District 9 is. Will have to go and Google that, too.
"The new doodle has flummoxed web users because it does not appear to represent a specific event or launch, both of which are the usual reasons behind special Google doodle. Instead, clicking on the image of the UFO takes the user to a search for the term "unexplained phenomenon" which just happens to be one of the top trending search terms on Google today. Also in the top 10 search terms is the phrase "top 10 unexplained phenomena".
But is this chicken or is this egg? Did Google change the logo in response to the growing number of searches for "unexplained phenomenon" or is it specifically seeking to drive traffic to that term. Web users are asking if this is a precursor to some viral event or if is tied to yesterday's release of District 9."

District 9 is a recent release movie with a variety of unknown actors and is related to aliens coming to earth, being stranded here and their plight is very similar to apartheid - they are ostracised into a ghetto in Jo'burg. Peter Jackson has involvement in the movie, and it was released with very little fanfare and was a hit immediately. I think it was released about a month ago now??? But it won the weekend Box Office records in the States against whatever other movie was released that weekend.

Wow, I should have known that. It's my birthday too, and when anybody asks when is my birthday I always answer: "I share my birthday with Confucius and Brigitte Bardot. I have the brains of one the looks of the other, but I won't say who's brains or who's looks."
Now, does the Japanese writing say Google, or Confucius' Birthday?
I just Googled google.fr in case they had honoured Brigitte Bardot but they still have their own birthday logo up. The NZ one does not have my picture there
