Planetary Society Weblog: Kaguya shoots Earth video

Quote:
The image [in the column] is just a still, but it is apparently a part of real, moving, HD video of Earth; the JAXA site says it was taken in a mode such that time is sped up by a factor of eight.
These high-definition images of a moving Earth rotating in the blackness of space could be powerful ones for Earth advocacy, I think; I hope JAXA makes them publicly available! I can't wait to see what kinds of HD movies may appear of Earth and Moon in mutual motion.
