Every time we get an image of Earth from the Moon, it shows Africa, Saudi Arabia, and sometimes
Antarctica. And once in a while Asia and Australia get thrown in for good measure.

See the famous Apollo 11 and 17 images as just two examples.

When does North America get their chance? I'm surprised the Kaguya controllers didn't at least
try to get Japan in the image.

Speaking of which, this just came out from NAS:
