First ever high definition video shot of the earth from about 380,000 km in space. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's "Kaguya" moon explorer has sent back the first ever high definition video shot of the moon's surface from about 100 km away and also of the "Earthrise" and "Earthset" as seen from the moon.
The video takes a while to load and is pretty boring. However, as you're watching it, just imagine one day, your grandchild (since you'll probably be to old, or dead and gone), might be sitting on his environmentally controlled, airlock sealed balcony, at his lunar-condo, sipping a cold luna-cerveza, watching that exact scene...
