It's the same camera, right? Why is the earth a different size from one video to the other? I guess I should go find the source images and see for myself. Did I miss something?

My guess is that the movement of the spacecraft that creates the "Earthrise" and "Earth-set" is moving faster than the rotation of the Earth. Am I close? "Why isn't the Earth rotating?"

NHK is public organization but she insist Kaguya's video images are half belong to her then rejected request from JAXA to releasing the images. This is too bogus because of NHK is operated by income of Japanese people. But this kind of bureaucratic mannars can be seen all around the country nowaday. As a result of this bureaucratic behavior of NHK, nearly 20% of Japanese rejected to pay fee for NHK although this is kind of obligation as likie a tax. Everything is too stupid.
