Ebb and Flow
A pair of NASA spacecraft tumbled out of orbit around the moon and crashed into the surface, ending a mission that peered into the lunar interior. The twin spacecraft were called Ebb and Flow. Ebb plunged first, slamming into a mountain near the moon’s north pole. Its twin, Flow, followed about a half minute later and aimed for the same target. The demise of Ebb and Flow comes on the same month as the 40th launch anniversary of Apollo 17, the last manned mission to the moon.
