Not being familiar with the whole of the man’s work, I went to Wikipedia to read up on him (such inspiration being the singular most valuable feature of the Doodle) and learned that the burner he co-invented with a laboratory assistant, Peter Desaga, was actually a mere footnote in his distinguished career as a chemist.
The article also had a photograph of Bunsen’s grave.
Curiously, it did not include an eternal flame.
