Another nifty Google doodle today in honor of photographer Eadweard Muybridge who pioneered the art of stop motion photography through his efforts to better understand the movement of animals. Click on the doodle to enjoy a representation of his most famous work which allowed him to settle what was then the hotly debated question of whether a horse at speed ever has all four hooves off the ground at the same time. I suggest pursuing more knowledge of Muybridge as his influence on modern cinema, art, and zoology are impressive.
