You've probably seen the news already...

Kepler Crater as seen by SMART-1

It's easy to see some moving shadows in the animation. I took the gif and split out the individual images. I applied a .7 gamma in Paint Shop just to make the shadows stand out more. *Note, the inserted image below is a 5 frame animated gif. If it is not animated in your browser, please save the file locally and use a graphics program that will show the animation.



The right most box in the upper right has the darkest shadow, presumably SMART-1's shadow. The box next to that box shows a shadow of the shadow...at least, there's another shadow that appears to have the same trajectory as the darker shadow.

The box all alone in the left side contains a shadow that moves 'up', it begins near the crater at the lower left of the box.

The circle contains a large round shadow, probably something internal to the camera.
