Kaguya has a monitoring camera for cheking the solar array paddle deployment. This camera happened to capture another Earth image.
You can see the Earth through a small clearance between the body and the paddle. http://www.selene.jaxa.jp/ja/communication...formation_j.htm (Sorry, in Japanese) http://www.selene.jaxa.jp/image/communicat...071002_01_s.jpg |
