That is just so very very cool. They should give 1080i MOV's to Apple to put on their trailers website smile.gif

Truly incredible... just like being there!

The best orbital views since Apollo... and if the full file is proper HDTV at a reasoable frame rate, then this is better quality than Apollo...

Sweet stuff! I thought we'd have to wait until humans get back there for shots like these. All we need is an Earthrise sequence now.

If you link to the source .swf directly, you get the whole scene and player in bigger-o-vision.

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 smile.gif

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)

The Apollo 8 comparison is apt, nop. Far different view, though, than any obtained by Apollo (an upside down & nearly-full Earth!) Dramatic; inspiring! smile.gif

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Fab images! And for orientation, the foreground ridge is the misnamed "peak of eternal light' between Shackleton (the real south polar crater, just above the copyright symbol) and de Gerlache, at the left edge. Malapert Mountain is just under the Earth. This is the best image I've ever seen for illustrating the geography of the place, which is also intended to be the target for the Chandrayaan-1 impact probe and the Selene 2 lander/rover.
