Post under doodle at 2:11 AM

Google releasing Doodles to celebrate occasions like birthday of famous personalities, festival celebration and so on is common from 1998 since when the google started releasing doodles.

Now on January 11th it has released 1 more doodle on the occasion of Nicolas Steno's(11 January 1638 – 25 November 1686) 374th Birthday and he was a Danish pioneer in both anatomy and geology. By 1659 he had decided not to accept anything simply written in a book, resolving instead to do research himself. He is considered the father of geology and stratigraphy.

As Nicolas Steno is considered the father of geology and stratigraphy the Doodle released by the google is similar to that of different layers of the earth from atmosphere to innercore of the earth with different layers of rock, water, sand and so on present in each of the "Google" words which are shown as elements.

In this Doodle

1) The Element "G" is Basically a 5 layered particle having the environment with plants,birds, fossils and greenery on the top layer followed by minerals and sand in 2nd and 3rd layers and then the water in the 4th layer representing the underground water and finally the hard rock element in the 5th layer.

2) The Element "o" is of 4 layered where the 1st layer has the greenery and environment with rivers whereas plants and birds are missing here like it was in the previous element and the 2nd and 3rd layers of minerals and sand like in the previous element is represented as a combined composite mineral layer in the 2nd layer itself here, the water and the hard rock element layers are 3rd and 4th layers and are similar to that of the previous element style.

3) The Element "o" is also a 4 layered stuff and similar to that of the 2nd element o and the difference between these two elements is this element is having plants and birds along with the greenery in the upper environment layer while the rivers are missing here and the rest of the layers are similar with that of the other layers like in the 2nd element.

4) The Element "g" is also a 4 layered stuff and the 1st environment layer has greenery and birds in it with the below 3 layers being exactly similar to that of 2nd element o with the difference of each layers being more deeper here than of the "o" element.

5) The Element "L" is a 5 layered stuff where the 1st layer of environment has greenery in it while the remaining 4 layers below is similar to that of the element "G".

6) The Element "e" being the final element of the series is a 3 layered material with the 1st layer of environment having greenery, plants and birds in it, unlike the other elements before here the sand and mineral layers embedded to the water layer of the element while the hard rock soil layer being the last layer like in previous elements.

The Cursor when placed on the Google doodle icon on the google homepage tells it as Nicolas Steno's 374th Birthday.

Here's more information about Nicolas Steno and his research. The Doodles of the googles from wayback in 1998 can be accessed here.
