Today's Google Doodle: The Gregorian Calendar
Google is celebrating the 434th anniversary of the creation of the Gregorian calendar with a new Doodle.
Users who visit Google's homepage Tuesday will see artwork depicting paper calendar sheets for the dates of Oct. 3rd and 4th, written in roman numerals, between the spelling of Google.
As the internet giant explains, the Gregorian Calendar was created in 1582 in order to realign the Julian calendar previously created by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. as it was 10 days behind the seasons of the year.
