An expected impact location for Kaguya has now been announced:
http://www.selene.jaxa.jp/en/communication...ar_Impact_e.htm This may be revised before the impact. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Last year I had a chance to visit Tsukuba Space Center, Japan and saw a full scale model of Kaguya with my own eyes. It's so big yet the HD movie of the Moon seems so close.
It's sad to hear the end of Kaguya, Didn't they bring enough fuel for an extended mission? |
