sunset? moonset? why watch those, when you can watch... an Earthset

remember that probe Japan sent to the moon? Well, it had an HD camera onboard, an captured a magnificent Earthset from the south pole of the Moon.

that should also help put the naysayers to rest about the lunar landing in the 60s: you can't see stars when you are exposing film (or your eyes are adjusted) for viewing the Earth and for viewing things (such as people) on the moon.

great video though, something we have never had the chance to see before. I love things that are new to us like that. breathtaking.

So the Japanese are in on the moon landing conspiracy? With their high technology and digital rendering prowess, we'll never know what's real now...I bet they got Squaresoft to make that image.
