The Japanese Moon probe Kaguya records the Earth as it rises above the lunar north pole. The crater Plaskett was named after Canadian astronomer J.S. Plaskett, who worked at the Dominion Observatory in Ottawa from its construction in 1903, and then at the other Dominion Observatory in Victoria after 1917. The Japanese spacecraft Kaguya is named after Kaguya-hime, the moon maiden of folklore. She has a movie out this year.
