> The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Japan 
> Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) would like to release the final still 
> images taken by the onboard High Definition Television (HDTV) of the 
> lunar explorer "KAGUYA" just prior to its maneuvered falling to the 
> Moon. The images are attached below. The KAGUYA was launched on 
> September 14, 2007, and was controlled to be dropped to the Moon on 
> June 11, 2009, as its mission was completed.
> 
> The series of continued shots was taken with an interval of about one 
> minute by the HDTV (Teltephoto) while the KAGUYA was maneuvered to 
> decrease its altitude toward the impact position (around GILL crater.)
> 
> We can see the approaching Moon surface as the KAGUYA went closer to 
> it. After the final image, the KAGUYA moved into the shaded area to 
> make its final landing, thus it was pitch dark while taking an image.
> This is the very final image shooting of the Moon by the KAGUYA HDTV.
> 
> You can enjoy images taken by the KAGUYA HDTV through JAXA Digital 
> Archives, the KAGUYA Image Gallery, and the JAXA channel on YouTube.
