Google buckyball on Google NZIf you visit Google New Zealand today, you will see a special animated logo. The logo is a buckyball or fullerence. A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube.

The logo is unique for a Google logo in that you can twist and turn the ball with your mouse. Here is a video:

Give it a try on Google New Zealand or tomorrow for many places.
