Thanks to an high-definition television camera with 1920 x 1080 resolution onboard the lunar IE Kaguya ( but you’re able to call her Serene ) , image of the Earth arise and setting on November 7 were radiate back to JAXA ’s Usuda space post ( JAXA is Japan ’s space bureau ) . The southerly hemisphere is toppermost , so that is an upside - down Australia you’re able to see , but that ’s just normal for those of us who are British . Oh , and we recognise that 286 lines of Flash vid does n’t constitute “ HD , ” but this is the best we can deliver . ( There ’s no phone on the vid , either , but that ’s because it ’s in space . ) [ Jaxa ]
