This data is available and useful to a potentially huge number of scientists in a wide range of disciplines.

They're celebrating because not only is it very cool, it unblocks a whole bunch of people's related work. They now have a gift to share with the whole world.

Commenting to leave something another redditor told me about because it was such a great little film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17658964/

Edited to add the name of the title for folks that may not want to click the imdb link:

It's Quieter in the Twilight

^ 'free' if you have Prime Video

Just a really sweet team of people who care for these two spacecraft as they themselves near the end of their careers and sometimes lives. I highly recommend folks watch!
