google, perseid meteor shower doodle

merrie says:

The image shows houses silhouetted against the night sky, with meteors streaking through the air, leaving a trail of bright light.

Clicking on the link takes web surfers through to a Google results page for searches about the Perseid meteor shower, which will still be visible across the United Kingdom this evening.

google used to mark a lot of things, then they stopped. Nice to see they are back with it again.

Stargazers have been told to head to the Midlands and the north of England to 
  see the shower at its brightest, and the best display of "shooting stars" 
  is expected to occur between 2am and 4am.

The meteor shower occurs every year when the Earth passes through debris left 
  by the Swift-Tuttle comet. Astronomers estimate that at its peak, around 100 
  meteors and hour will whizz through the Earth's atmosphere, lighting up the 
  sky.
