I saw this show up a few days ago as well. What's nice is that the original Nature Communications submissions is open access: http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13493

There's a bunch more interesting visualization of what's going on, so worth a click if you want to see more.

One meta detail that's particularly interesting to me is that this paper was originally submitted back in March:

  Received: 22 March 2016
  Accepted: 07 October 2016
  Published online: 30 November 2016

So that's about an 6 months before it was accepted and about 8 months before it was widely disseminated, make me think about the implications.

Also, as a point of reference, the paper was submitted about a month and a half after the original live stream for "first hydrogen" (OP-1) February 3, 2016 - I believe they ran about a month of test runs, and no doubt started crunch numbers immediately after the first run.
