Fly me to the Moon!
I recently bought a private Lunar orbiter to shoot some videos from the Moon!!!
It's much like a KAGUYA (SELENE) orbiter but more advanced.
Not really, animations here are made by reprojecting 2D-Moon image to a 3D-ball.
Animation is then calculated in 3D-software (TrueSpace from Galigari)
In this animation we are flying over the terminator zone of the half Moon.
On the Left side the Earth shine effect can be seen as a Bluish hue.
The online Video quality is very low doe the compression algorithm,
please, download a high resolution video to see it in full glory.
A higher resolution Video can be downloaded from HERE.
-
An other video from the same 2D-material.
In this Video we are flying closer to a surface of the termintor zone.
A higher resolution Video can be downloaded from HERE.

The original 2D-image can be seen HERE.

Full Moon as an animation
In this animation we are flying 360 degrees around the termination zone of the Full Moon.
A higher resolution Video can be downloaded from HERE.

Original 2D-image of the Full Moon can be seen HERE.
