h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Quite a sad doodle today in North America, Western South America, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Czechia, Viet Nam, and Kenya.

On a lighter note, today's doodle announces the Great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn which happens tonight. I've found two links, one for the Northern Hemisphere and one that should cover the Southern Hemisphere, but is apparently only visible in South America.

Let's do that again without the secure link.
