The vision
exax brings a new way to see Earth — a single, continuous view from the Moon to inspire science, education, and a shared sense of our place in space.
Clarity
High-resolution imagery from the Moon
From the lunar surface, the camera could hold the whole Earth disc in frame in extraordinary detail — continents, weather systems, and the moving day–night line — a perspective ground-based views can never offer.
- A continuous live view from the Moon's surface
- Open to researchers and educators worldwide
- A perspective that changes how we see ourselves
Foundation
What makes exax possible
Three elements work together to deliver this unprecedented view. Each one is shaped by the demands of operating on the Moon.
Permanent installation on the lunar surface
A fixed camera on a polar crater rim, planned to keep watching Earth continuously rather than passing overhead and looking away.
An educational resource for classrooms and research
Scientists and students could follow Earth's atmosphere, weather, and long-term change from one steady vantage point.
A new perspective on our shared world
Seeing Earth whole, live, from another world is a quiet reminder of what we have — and what we share.
How the system captures Earth from the Moon
Location
A point where Earth rides the lunar horizon
Near a lunar pole, Earth hangs low and almost still. A positional-astronomy and laser-terrain study found the two places — one per hemisphere — where the lunar horizon crosses Earth's disk every month, yet the planet never sinks more than half below it: both worlds in one picture, guaranteed for any year and anywhere on the landing pad.
Camera
One steady frame holds the whole planet
An 8K-class camera, engineered for the lunar environment, keeps the entire Earth disc sharp — clouds, continents, and the day–night terminator — without moving or adjusting.
Transmission
Watch Earth from anywhere
The signal travels from the lunar surface back to ground stations on Earth, where the live view becomes open to anyone — schools, researchers, and curious minds alike. And because Earth never wanders far in the lunar sky, the transmitting antenna — like the camera — can simply hold its aim.
