The theme for this year s Earth Day is Restore Our Earth which focuses on natural processes and emerging green technologies that can restore the world s ecosystems
On the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, Google has come up with an animated video doodle highlighting the importance of planting seeds for a brighter and greener future.
Google described that their doodle showing a variety of trees being planted within natural habitats underlines one of the many ways in which people can do their part to keep the Earth healthy for future generations.
Mercury, our Solar System s innermost planet, will be visible in the sky over the UK on Saturday morning as it reaches its maximum elongation from the Sun in 2021.
Maximum elongation is the biggest angular separation between the Sun and a planet in its orbit, as observed from the Earth.
This means the planet will be more visible than usual because it won t be as obscured by the brightness of the Sun.
On Saturday (March 6), Mercury will appear as a particularly bright white dot, just before it rounds the curve of its orbit and starts to disappear behind the Sun.
Brits will have only about a 50-minute-long window to see Mercury. They ll have to get up early and out of the house by just after 05:30 GMT to enjoy the full show.
