Supermoon – Space Probe Style!

Many people myself included went out to watch the supermoon. It’s dubbed this because not only of itsĀ larger size on the far horizon, but the moon is closer than it’s been since January 26th, 1948. Unfortunately I went outside a little too late, also I didn’t have the proper camera lens to get a good shot of it anyway.

 

After heading back home I went on youtube and found an old video stream of the Japanese Selene probe orbiting the moon. At first I thought it was a 3D animation because the stream quality was so vibrant and rich looking. It is in fact real probe footage though its been edited and looped. I found watching this to beĀ far more satisfying and the background music really added a dreamy vibe to it. Enjoy!
