Remember Kaguya (AKA, "Selene"), the lunar probe that was launched from Tanegashima a few months ago? It doesn't really have much to do with "5 Centimetres per Second" but since the island was used as a setting in the movie, I thought I would put this post under that category anyway just like the last one.

It was interesting to find the probe's progress being reported on the BBC website today. More images and video footage of the moon and the "earthrise" can be found at the official project website.

Now someone just needs to add some surreal touches to it and it'll look like the imagery from the start of Cosmonaut! I never noticed those were craters in the background in this screenshot.
