A combined photo released by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on Friday shows the image of the South Pole on the Moon's backside (South latitude: 89 degrees / East longitude: 240 degrees). JAXA carried out an observation using two onboard sensors of the Moon Explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE), the Terrain Camera (TC) and Multi-band Imager (MI) from November 3, 2007 and confirmed they were functioning properly.
