HD Moving image of the Moon

For roughly a month now the Japanese spacecraft Kaguya or also known as Selene, has been orbiting the Moon at an altitude of 62 miles to re-create the image that Apollo 11 took, Earth-rise. Well, they have gone one better and managed to get a High Definition version, Earth-set, along with a moving image. They are breathe taking, just shear beauty. Here are a few links for some of the images and the movie.The title is also a link to an article on spacespot. Enjoy...
