The Great Moon Hoax of 1835: a true story drawn in code

In 1835 a New York paper told its readers there were bat people on the moon.

The Sun said the astronomer John Herschel saw bison, unicorns and winged people through a lens 24 feet wide. Herschel was real and he was in South Africa, but none of it came from him.

This is a true story told in 46 seconds. Every claim was checked against sources before the script was locked, and nothing got put in Herschel's mouth. Every frame is drawn in code.
