May 16 (UPI) -- Google is celebrating the final half moon of May.
The search engine released a new Doodle on Friday.
The image hovering just over Google's search bar shows a winking moon that is half illuminated, half in shadow, and surrounded by cards depicting various lunar phases.
"You'll be over the (half) moon about this latest iteration of the Rise of the Half Moon game series," the search engine said.
When users click the Doodle, they are taken to an interactive game, where players "must connect the phases of the lunar cycle to earn points."
May's moon is known as the "Flower Moon," Google said.

These Are the Top Trending Baby Names in the U.S. Right Now, According To Google
While our parents painstakingly flipped through baby books to decide on a name for their child, parents nowadays are turning to Google. They are picking a moniker based on certain aesthetics (i.e., 'old money names') and looking for ideas on nicknames and meanings behind popular names using the search engine. Google just released a list of the top trending baby names for 2025, based on search volume, and there are some surprising results. Sutton. This name is the top trending baby name, which has English origins and means 'from the south farm.' Famous Suttons in recent years include Sutton Foster and Sutton from The Bold Type, played by Meghann Fahy. Theodore. This Greek name means 'God-given,' with recent stars like Theo James like assisting in the craze. Sadie. It's no surprise this name is top on the list, which means 'princess' or 'mercy.' Sadie Sink comes to mind as a recent famous Sadie. Amelia. This pretty name means 'industrious,' 'striving,' and 'defender.' The most famous is Amelia Earhart, of course. Athena. In Greek, Athena means 'Goddess of war.' Recently, Princess Diana's niece Lady Kitty Spencer named her daughter Athena, too. Aria. This melodic name means 'gentle music.' In pop culture, Aria was the name of Lucy Hale's character in Pretty Little Liars. Violet. Literally meaning 'flower,' the name violet is pretty and popular. Violet has been the name of many characters in films and books, like in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Series of Unfortunate Events, and The Incredibles. Zion. This Biblical name means 'monument,' 'raised up,' and 'sepulcher.' Recently, Nicholas Duvernay played Zion in The White Lotus. Milo. This name means 'merciful,' with one of the most famous being Milo Ventimiglia. Lincoln. This name means 'lakeside colony' and is the name of one of our most famous presidents Abraham Lincoln. Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard named their daughter Lincoln, meaning this can be a cool gender neutral name as well.

From MAGA to ‘TACO'
For a man who built his Make America Great Again brand, in part, on his cartoonish projection of strength, there can be no nastier comment than calling Trump a chicken. Advertisement With his mean-girl insults and movie-villain glare, Trump relishes being the self-righteous crusader who squares up against his enemies. Even during an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania campaign rally last summer, Trump, his ear apparently grazed and bloodied by a bullet, pumped his fist in the air and yelled Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up That image, which Trump has Advertisement 'So I just tried to think of a catchy acronym, and TACO happened to be the most kind of amusing one that I could think of,' Armstrong said. It's amusing others as well. After Trump again walked back one of his trade-war threats, MSNBC host On his late night show, 'Let's Go TACO' is also a spin on 'Let's Go Brandon,' which, during former president Joe Biden's White House tenure, became a stand-in for a profane anti-Biden chant popular among Trump supporters. Why TACO riles Trump is obvious. It exposes the indecisiveness and chaos he tries to pass off as calculated leadership. But it also takes one of the president's favorite devices — deploying a punchy phrase such as 'You're fired,' from his reality show days on 'The Apprentice'; 'fake news,' now a staple of the autocratic lexicon; or his 'Big Beautiful Bill' — and flips it against him. Advertisement '[TACO] is actually entering the mainstream culture, and we can see this right here in Google searches,' Harry Enten, CNN's data guru, said during a recent segment. He pointed to a chart that showed a whopping '9,900 percent increase' in searches of the acronym between Tuesday and Thursday of last week. Armstrong came up with TACO to address Trump's erratic trade war. But the notion that he chickens out can be applied to other things, including his barely there negotiations with President Vladimir Putin of Russia on ending the Kremlin's unprovoked war against Ukraine. If Democrats calling his strange tangents during campaign rallies 'weird' during the 2024 presidential campaign got under Trump's thin skin, then TACO, which jabs at his weakness, cuts right to the bone. Back in the day on 'Saturday Night Live,' Chevy Chase portrayed then-president Gerald Ford as an inveterate klutz, which, right or wrong, publicly branded him as an incompetent dolt. Now, more than anything Democrats have concocted to counter Trump 2.0, TACO could have the same power to define and undercut this destructively unstable presidency. With one memorable term tailored specifically for Trump, the troller-in-chief is getting deservedly trolled. Renée Graham is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at

The Most Popular Celebrity Teen Is Worth a Staggering $250 Million, According to a New Study
As a teenager, I was happy if I had enough money to get gas and grab a burger with friends. (As an adult in Donald Trump's economy, not much has changed.) I couldn't imagine then or now what it would be like to have $1 million in my account, much less the $250 million one celebrity teen is worth. According to a new study, the most popular teenager of a celebrity has a staggering net worth of $250 million (!!) — and my eyes are practically bugging out of my head thinking about it. Popular kids clothing brand Posh Peanut recently conducted a study of over 30 celebrity children trending in news and online to determine who was the most popular in 2025. They looked at their estimated net worth, Google search volume, number of Instagram hashtags, and other measures. More from SheKnows Arnold Schwarzenegger Grills Son Patrick on Why He Thinks His Last Name Was an 'Obstacle' in Hollywood The teens in the top 10 list include Beyoncé & Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 13; Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter Suri Cruise, 19; Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's kids Shiloh Jolie, 18, and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, 16; and Victoria Beckham and David Beckham's daughter Harper Beckham, 13. Out of those, the most popular in the list — based on 3.55 million social media mentions — is Shiloh Jolie! She has an estimated net worth of $250 million. Being 18 with that much money could be dangerous, but Shiloh seems to have a good head on her shoulders. The Maleficent star previously told Good Morning America that her daughter is 'extremely private.' In a panel at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in April, Jolie added that none of her six kids like 'the celebrity part' of acting. 'Especially Shiloh hates it,' she added. In Posh Peanut's survey, the next most popular celebrity teen is Blue Ivy Carter. The teen has 1.78 million social media mentions. However, her net worth is significantly higher than Shiloh's at an estimated $755 million! Vivienne Jolie-Pitt was estimated to be worth $86 million, Harper Beckham was $4.5 million, and Suri Cruise was $500k. The rest of the top 10 list included celebrity kids younger than teens, including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's kids North West, 11, and Chicago West, 7; Prince William and Kate Middleton's kids Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10; and Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter Stormi Webster, 7. Out of the kids, North West was the most popular, beating out even Shiloh Jolie with 5.46 million social media mentions and an estimated net worth of $525 million. Her cousin Stormi had an estimated net worth of $319 million, and her sister Chicago had an estimated net worth of $525 million, the only siblings on the list with the exact same net worth. The royal siblings unsurprisingly had the highest net worth, with Prince George coming in at $3.8 billion and Princess Charlotte having an estimated $5 billion net worth. And we thought $250 million was a lot! Princess Charlotte was also just behind North West in social media mentions at $1.7 million. (Earlier this year, Princess Charlotte also lost out to North West in a study of the highest number of fashion-related Google searches, per Hello!) 'The extraordinary influence of celebrity children extends far beyond just entertainment value, creating new lifestyle inspirations that resonate deeply with today's digitally-connected families,' a spokesperson for Posh Peanut said in a statement. 'These young personalities are reshaping how children express themselves through fashion, play, and social interactions, offering a fascinating window into how fame and influence are evolving in our increasingly media-saturated world.' It's fascinating to see how much these celebrity teens and kids are worth!Best of SheKnows These '90s Girl Names Are All That and a Bag of Chips 26 Stunning, Unique Jewelry Brands & Pieces for Teens 19 Celebrity Parents With Trans & Nonbinary Kids
