For a couple of weeks, there has been a lot of talk on social networks about what happens every time you type the word meteorite in the Google search engine.
This is because Google decided to include a fun element so that users searching for this term would have a very special experience.
You can try it…
Every time you type in the Google search engine, whether from your computer, cell phone or tablet, when you type meteorite and press the magnifying glass button or hit enter to start the search, once the first page of results, in the upper left part of the screen you will notice that the animation of one of these objects that are in space appears, which falls towards the lower right area of the screen until it disappears.
However, the experience does not end here, since seconds later your screen wobbles, thus simulating the impact caused by a meteorite when it hits the Earth.
Other Google words that have an animation
The meteorite also appears on the Google search page when the word Chicxulub is entered, the crater where an asteroid theoretically crashed 66 million years ago, in the Yucatan peninsula and which would have caused a planetary catastrophe that marked the end of the period Cretaceous and the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Also, if you type in the search engine “DART mission”, the first NASA mission in charge of diverting asteroids from their orbit as tests in order to prevent a meteorite from threatening the planet, the animation of a space probe that crashes into the results page, being nearly destroyed.
