High resolution video of the moon

Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) has sent a lunar explorer to get images of the moon. They call the explorer KAGUYA and so far the mission has been successful. They have just gotten HDTV images from the moon. Me like! You can find some pictures and a video here. It’s highly recommended.

As usual. This information was something that I found on Bad Astronomy where Phil Plait is having a blast with this one.

Looking moonstruck

moon I tested a 400mm zoom lens yesterday, and among else I got this nice picture of a near full moon. When I see a picture like this I always start to think about the few among us that have set their feet on that little sphere in space. A lot of sites on the net think that the lunar landings are fake and only cold-war propaganda from the US. For you guys, please read this.

Actually I recommend the site as well
