Eulogy. An elegy is a song or poem lamenting the deceased. Which would be awesome, and fitting for the little extraplanetary explorer that could, but wasn’t listed in the article.

This is an indeed an elegy not a eulogy because the author is lamenting the loss. True, it is prose, not poetry, but it is poetry of the heart, which takes many forms.
