Japan's Satellite finally Crashes Into the Moon June 11th 2009

Japan's Selene satellite has been sending amazing HD footage of the surface of the moon for a couple of months now, but on June 11th, it finally crashed into the surface. And its final video might be its best.
The crash itself happens just over the line into the dark side of the moon, but you can see its final decent and just how close it was to the surface

there is light side..... The moon does rotate! The sun does set and rise if you are standing there.... although much more slowly at about 30 days.

I wish people would get over the "dark side of the moon" myth.Do some research before you make silly comments demonstrating your staggering ignorance. I mean FFS most of the comments on here are speculative bullshit... IR 3d imaging and no stars.. if you cared enough to not sound retarded you could easily google Kaguya and its instruments/mission rather than guess...

@SIDPORTELLA Kaguya has nothing to do with NASA... read more comment less, it will save you from looking like a fool.

And then it fall on the dark side of the moon, where no human will put an eye cause the dark side never turns to earth , strnge hun? Someone said it was 3d mash, well if it is a 3d thing probably it was caught by IR, so why can we see shadows? and so, why the dark side isnt showed, because IR dosent need to have light to scan soil. So why it could not scan the dark side too? Weird! TOTALLY WEIRD!

This Footage is really against the Formular of Light and Darkness, the two are meant not to be together!

Very poor image, Who Own SONNY?

I havn't the slightest doubt that America put men on the moon and brought them back safely, 100 percent no doubt whatever!

The most important thing you can say about apollo is everything was caught on film through a lense onto Kodak 16mm black and white negatives and 70mm colour transparencies.....CGI didn't exhist!

Trouble is however much I watch this satellites images I can't help thinking it looks like an average 'Sony Playstation' game....but I hope it's genuine:)

@SIDPORTELLA they are in your anus.

[KungFriedChicken]

looks cgi... why cant the quality be as good as google earth?

[MrMoorkey]

@SIDPORTELLA They're not there because a: this isn't video, these are oblique photographs pasted onto a 3d mesh map of the lunar surface, representative of the craft's final moments, and b: if it even were the video, the aperture settings to allow clear footage of the moon's surface obscures the stars. Go outside right now, with your camera / webcam, and without adjusting the settings, take a photo of the stars. How many do you see? There's your proof.

I wish i could own a piece of moon.!! , it's made of cheese isn't?
