Many congratulations to JAXA after the disappointments about Nozomi et al. This mission is shaping up really nicely and there is a lot to look forward to. Those images of the moon with parts of the spacecrfat in the foreground remind me of Rosetta's fly-by of Mars.... as if we the viewers are looking out from a spacercraft which we are on-board.
