A new HDTV movie of eath-rise and earth-set has been released:
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071113_kaguya_e.html It reminds me of the great Christmas earth-rise take by Apollo 8 FYI, someone uploaded the capture of NHK news program featuring the previous HDTV moon image: (the reso is higher than the flash video by JAXA. Strictly speaking, please note that the copyright is violated ) http://stage6.divx.com/user/tanabota/video.../Kaguya(SELENE) And another good news is that Kaguya successfully observed the gravity field of the far side of the moon directly by four-way Doppler observation using RSAT. (the release only in Japanese. It's just notification of success, and no data have been reeased yet) http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/j/topics/topics/2007/1112.shtml |
