Google changed its Logo; surely that day must be a significant day, a day worth remembering. Today, when we log into google.cn, we can see that Google has changed:
Google turned into an ancient telescope? It turns out that on August 25, 1609, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei used a telescope for astronomical observation for the first time. This action triggered a revolution in the history of human science, profoundly influencing the development of science and even the progress of human society as a whole, changing humanity’s view of the universe. To commemorate the 400th anniversary of Galileo’s first use of the telescope for astronomical observation, on December 20, 2007, the United Nations passed a resolution designating 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy.

Although there are some reports that “Galileo was not the first person to use a telescope,” even so, the scientific community has accepted this convention. Let us celebrate together!
