Too bad they don't present it well. I just see self congratulating politicians and officials on some youtube stream.

Telling that it's a US organization that hosts the actual picture.

esa.int and eso.org seem to be down actually.

The European broadcast presentation is not great.

The speakers are referencing images and diagrams that are not visible on screen.

The accomplishment speaks for itself. The delivery can be improved.

Both ESO and the NFS hosts the images, don't know what gave you any other impression.

And while the EC stream was pretty bad, at least they let you skip back in the stream and left it up after the presentation ended. The NFS stream wouldn't allow you to go back (useful if you joined late) while it was up.

Personally I liked the ALMA stream best, but it's down now :(

https://eventhorizontelescope.org/ is hosted in the US and the linked image links to a Harvard.edu web server.
