The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have successfully performed the world's first high-definition image taking of an Earth-rise* by the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude of about 100 km on October 18, 2007.
Hijexx asked: Have they released any true HD video or pictures yet? They list the camera's capabilities as 2.2 megapixel yet all I have been able to locate aren't even 0.5 megapixel.
