Google Doodle Today, December’s Final Half Moon: Tonight marks the final quarter of December’s lunar cycle or the half moon. The half-moon is a turning point in the lunar cycle where the balance shifts between light and dark.
The half-moon appears at the midway point of the transition from a new moon to a full moon and vice versa. Google Doodle aims to familiarize us with this concept through a fun game. They want people to join this month’s game to test their knowledge of the lunar cycle.
