Google’s new search gimmick to celebrate NASA DART mission will ‘smash and tilt’ your screen - WATCH

Google celebrated the NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission in a new style. It released an animation that alters the angle of the search results.

The search gimmick reflects NASA's actual mission to throw the asteroid Dimorphos off course as it orbits another asteroid.

If you Google "NASA DART", a satellite appears on the screen traveling from left to right while crashing towards the right corner of the screen. The crash then tilts the Google Search page just as the DART Mission intends to do.

Your Google search could reveal something smashing! Search for "NASA DART" on @Google to see a demonstration of browser, uh, planetary defense. pic.twitter.com/ZuxtlgaLJ1

Google often releases special graphics or animations, such as fireworks on July 4, but an animation that changes the angle of the search results appears to be new.

The Google Doodles on Google.com also frequently feature historical figures or events on anniversaries.
