This is an HD-resolution Earthrise video taken from lunar orbit by the Japanese lunar orbiter SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer). The probe is nicknamed Kaguya after the legendary Japanese moon princess. This imagery was captured as the orbiter passed over the lunar south pole with the sun directly behind the probe.
