Fridaygram: Global Impact, lunar mapping, transforming robot
Blog post from Google Cloud
In a light-hearted Fridaygram post, Scott Knaster from the Google Developers Blog highlights several intriguing events and developments from December 2012, including the launch of Google's Global Impact Awards, which aim to support organizations using technology for humanitarian purposes such as providing clean water and protecting endangered species. Additionally, the post discusses the GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) mission, which has begun delivering detailed images of the moon's surface through its Ebb and Flow spacecraft, enriching our understanding of lunar features without revealing any unexpected phenomena like alien robots. The post also nods to pop culture by mentioning the silent-era character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, created by Walt Disney, finally getting a voice, and ends with a playful invitation to watch a video of a non-alien, non-giant transformer robot.
