lake look-alike craters was spotted over Moon by HDTV Cameras of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) have successfully performed the world's first high-definition image taking by the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE,) which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude of about 100 km

This HD transmition from JAXA was one of the most important ever as HDTV Cameras of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spotted lake over Moon surface

North Pole Area (still image cut out from the first image shooting)


(2) The western side of the "Oceanus Procellarum" (cut out from the second image shooting)


(3) The west side of the "Oceanus Procellarum" (cut out from the second image shooting)

This is a still image taken out from the end part of the second moving image taking.

We can observe a crater called "Repsold," whose diameter is 107 km, at the center on the near side of this image. The channel that crosses this crater is called the "Repsold Valley," and its length is about 180 km (equivalent to the distance between Tokyo and Shizuoka on the Tokaido Line in Japan.) The shooting time was the same as the above (2.)

First of all, before you post a vidio, you make sure that the air brushing and blotching is removed so we can see what is really there!!! All this hiding and secrecy is amazing. Don´t worry, you don´t have to tell us, we already know!
