| 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" The west 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.
