Kaguya Spacecraft Crashes into the Moon

COSMIC MESSAGE

Japan's Kaguya spacecraft crashed into the Moon last week, as planned. This movie was taken by Kaguya during the last orbit of its twenty-month lunar mission. A desolate, hilly, and cratered terrain passes underneath as the spacecraft barely clears a few peaks. Kaguya was officially named the Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE).
