Thing is, the article @sheralmyst quoted was from CBS news.

I was really surprised to discover that Boaty McBoatface was internationally famous.

Britain may only be a small collection of islands, but we punch above our weight when it comes to idiosycratic madness.

Landing the Beresheet on the moon was not as smooth as hoped for. The main engine cut off a few times during it’s final approach. Communication was eventually completely lost. Last recorded vertical velocity from what I could see was 134.3 m/s, which is roughly 500 km/h or 300 miles/h. The Beresheet can be assumed lost as it crashed into the moon, although still a great historic attempt.

The European Southern Observatory (ESO) released the below video yesterday (April 10th).

This 17-minute film explores the efforts that led to this historic image, from the science of Einstein and Schwarzschild to the struggles and successes of the EHT collaboration.
