On the dark side of the moon?



Not sure if you're joking.. but there's light on the dark side of the Moon, it's just called that because it's never visible from Earth.

I assumed the craft that brought the lander into orbit would have some sort of visual tracking, but maybe the distances involved make that impossible and all we get is telemetry + a rendering to visualize it.


I am hoping that the lander has some ultra high definition video but because of bandwidth we haven't seen it yet but as soon as the upload to earth is complete I am hoping we get a much higher resolution video of this landing.


I was thinking more about a recorder positioned on earth or on orbit, but I forgot about the main stage of the ship that deploys the probe and should have visibility of the dark side.
