Kaguya Probe Shoots HD Moon Video
     


The Japanese Kaguya
probe, a robot craft currently orbiting the Moon, has some sensors
not found on previous space-faring robots, HD video
cameras. The amazing video returned is so clear it's easy to mistake
for a computer simulation. Kaguya will be ending
its Moon mission at 18:30 UTC on June 10 with an impact on the lunar
surface. The primary task of Kaguya is to further our scientific
knowledge of the Moon's origin and evolution. Props to the excellent Discovery Bad
Astronomy blog for bringing this cool video to our attention. In
addition to the video above we have a couple more after the break.
