The death of Flaco, a Eurasian eagle-owl that captivated New Yorkers after escaping from a zoo last year, has sparked calls to combat bird strikes
The big picture: Former Central Park Zoo resident Flaco is among an estimated one billion birds that die in the U.S. every year from skyscraper and building collisions.
Why it matters: It was the first successful U.S. moon landing mission since Apollo 17 in 1972, and "the furthest south any vehicle has been able to land on the Moon and establish communication with ground controllers," per the company.
