Fridaygram: history online, diamond planet, tooth decay

The Google Developers Blog, edited by Scott Knaster, highlights several intriguing topics in its Fridaygram post, focusing on the digital expansion of historical archives, fascinating astronomical discoveries, and a reminder about dental hygiene. The Google Cultural Institute has made significant strides in digitizing important historical events, offering online exhibitions that include color photos and personal accounts of D-Day, the anti-Apartheid movement led by Steve Biko, and the 1953 Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In the realm of astronomy, the planet 55 Cancri e, which orbits close to its star, boasts a surface partially composed of diamond, although its extreme temperatures of 2,100 degrees Celsius make it inhospitable for exploration. Additionally, the blog playfully reinforces the importance of oral care, suggesting that good habits like brushing and flossing are timeless advice, much like the whimsical notion that consuming chocolate could be linked to winning a Nobel Prize.
