Earth's rotation dictates features should be appearing, not disappearing at the western terminator.
The QT version doesn't work for me and it's the only one that would allow scrolling back and forth in the movie, without rebuffering. From what I can see in the WMV, most of the "moving" is KAGUYA moving farther from Earth with only a hint of rotation. The pointing is remarkably steady, though. I almost wish there was that "Apollo-like" human hand factor to show it's actual footage, not CGI renderings. -------------------- |
