I invite you to fly around the Moon! These shots were taken by the Japanese SELENE Lunar Orbiter/Kaguya spacecraft. Craters, mountains, cracks, plains. In this video you can see what is impossible to see in a telescope from the surface of the Earth.
I did many days of work studying satellite images. Tens of gigabytes of data. I selected shots of particularly interesting parts of the Moon.
I hope you will enjoy!
Separately, I want to note that I always try to achieve the maximum image quality. I do for you the translation of the text in the subtitles and in the description under the video. Turn on subtitles in the player and choose your language.
While watching, expand the video to full screen and select the maximum quality in the player settings.

Satellite technical data text:
KAGUYA's High-Definition Television (HDTV) system consists of a telephotographic camera and a wide-angle camera. 2.2M-pixel CCDs. One minute-long time images are brought to the HDTV system at 30 fps (frames per second).
One minute footage is stocked, stored, and moved to earth in 20 minutes.
Detectors: 3 CCD chips with 1920 x 1080 pixels.
FOV: 50 - 28.2 degrees for large boxes, 15.6 - 8.8 degrees for telescopic.
Exposure: Dawn period 1/59.94 seconds using electric shutter.
Operation mode: Movie mode, still mode.
Data compression: Flame compression (DCT scheme).
Semiconductor memory: ca. 2 Gbyte (up to 1 minute).
Maximum transfer rate: 7.6 Mbps (RS-422, CCSDS packeting scheme).
The HDTV took more than 600 movies near Moon during the all mission phases. HDTV pictures images and made on boardboard processing in JPEG format. They were reformatted to TIFF at the border. These TIFF images were oriented to the FITS format losslessly.
The experiment data record (EDR) from the selenium HDTV experiment is included in this set set. The EDR contains these FITS images. In order to connect with PDS3 fit and standards, all images must be displayed on the PDS3 label.
HDTV received about 6.3 TB of video and statues of zem and moon over mission period that started on September 29, 2007, and ended on June 11, 2009.
