Hi-Def images from the moon

Darque Pervert · 11-09-2007, 12:29 AM

Some of you may be aware that the Japanese have a spacecraft presently orbiting the moon. While this is cool in and of itself, I think it's far cooler that they are taking the first hi-definition pictures of the moon.

Here are three still photographs of the lunar surface. The images are huge (1264 x 711 pixels), so I'm only linking to them. I highly suggest checking them out.

North Pole Area

The western side of the "Oceanus Procellarum"

There's more information about where they shot the HD images, as well as a video (low-res flash, sadly

) on JAXA's website: JAXA | KAGUYA (SELENE) World's First Image Taking of the Moon by HDTV
It's positively breathtaking.

Those are pretty cool. I particularly like the first one.
