Japanese Lunar Orbiter--Lunar Shots

The other night the NGC featured a program on the moon. Part of it showed HD
images from the Japanese orbiter. One was flying over Tycho or Copernicus.
Very impressive detail. I've tried to find something like that on the web,
but keep getting the earth rise images the orbiter had made. Jasa seems to
be the org responsible for the images, but it seems down a lot. Any ideas?

The HDTV video (and it is a video camera) content is owned by NHK, the Japanese
broadcaster that supplied the camera. They only supply the full HD video to
schools and other educational establishments. I recall that JAXA was talking
with NASA about distribution rights in the US...

Download American and Russian images done in the mid-1960s? They kind of
beat the Japs to the punch by 40 years.

NHK--is that the same crowd of public servants who funded the
renovation of the Sistine Chapel in return for exclusive rights to
images of Michelangelo's frescos? Glad I got there with my camera
before they got there with their camera!

The American auto industry? Sell it as scrap metal. The country will recover
and be better in the long run without an anti-technology lobby to drag us down.
