Google Doodle - Georges Lemaitre

[Alfian]

Interesting Google doodle today celebrating the birthday of priest and astronomer Georges Lemaitre (1894-1966).  An expansive choice.

Nice touch from the goog today. The story of Lemaitre is fascinating! .. especially with regards to Einstein

How odd, I can't see the doodle, although it's dated today on the Google doodle website and the UK is included in its 'reach'.

At first, Einstein didn’t take Lemaitre seriously, then came to realise that Lemaitre was correct in saying the Universe is expanding. One aspect of a great mind is listening to others. Two amazing intellects, we do well to read up on these men, take note of how they thought, even if much of what they found is beyond our grasp.

Oddly, my google is doodleless. (Now there's a very 21st century sentence.)
