Dark Side of the Moon, a Video

[Vartok]

I could have just as well said the back side of the moon.  The GRAIL project of twin satellites traveling around the moon having arrived on New Years Day ...

From the link below

"A gravity-mapping spacecraft orbiting the moon has beamed home its first video of the lunar far side — a view people on Earth never see.  The new video was captured by one of NASA's twin Grail probes using a novel camera called MoonKAM, which will eventually be used by students on Earth to snap photos of the lunar surface as part of an educational project. The two spacecraft have been circling the moon since they arrived in orbit over the New Year.  "The quality of the video is excellent and should energize our MoonKAM students as they prepare to explore the moon," said Maria Zuber, Grail principal investigator from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, in a statement accompanying the video's release Wednesday day. "

only 30 seconds but neat since we have all seen the front side so much, but not so much the back side.

Rico, can you hack into the MoonKAM so we can see it on your site??
