Mystery HTML5 Google Doodle: What is it?

Google has released another interactive animated HTML5 Google Doodle today. Spotted first on Google.co.uk, Google logo is made up of interactive colored balls.

Google Doodles never came without a reason. Most recently, Google Doodle celebrated buckyball's 25th-anniversary by embracing the carbon molecule in its logo. But today's different. Google.co.uk users are treated to a special mystery Google Doodle today -- and there doesn't seem to be any occasion that Google's celebrating.

The new mystery Google Doodle on Google.co.uk replaces the Google logo with a string of tiny circles or balls that disperse upon mouse movement on the page. Move the mouse over the Google Doodle quickly or slowly and the balls/circles making up the Google logo disperse according to momentum -- it's pretty cool.

As with past interactive doodles (read: Google celebrates Pac-Man's 30th anniversary), Google Doodle supports HTML5. We tried playing with Google Doodle on Google Chrome 6 and beta 7, Firefox 4 beta, and IE8 on Microsoft Windows 7. However, the Google Doodle didn't render at all on IE7 running on Microsoft XP.
