The series of galloping horse images on the Google home page that seems to spring to life at the press of the play button is there as it is the 182nd birth anniversary of Eadweard J Muybridge (the J stands for James), the man behind the first ever galloping horse moving image (also the American bison cantering and more).
The galloping horse, that is also the inspiration behind the Eadweard J
Muybridge Google doodle, was an experiment called 'Sallie Gardner at a
Gallop' that finally put to rest the debate over whether a horse's all
four hooves get off the ground at the same time while it trots. The
answer was a yes, as proved by a series of 24 photographs that was later
shown on Muybridge's zoopraxiscope. ----------------------------------------------------------------- >>> polymerize >>>
