Live Space Cams

Hi everybody, Hope you're all doing well in these crazy times...

I started doing a websearch for live "space" cams. Cams on earth looking out and cams in space.
I'm most interested in watching the moon, live.
I'm wondering a few things:

1.) Are there cams out there? Are they really live? Which ones?
2.) Would TPTB want cams pointed out in space, or at the moon, broadcasting live?

And I thought that ATS would be the perfect place to pose my questions.

In the "here's what I found dept:"

NASA ISS live feed: (uh-huh, nothing to see here?)
Some Ecuadorian satellite has a camera on it here
Webcamtaxi has this Japanese sat orbiting the moon? It looks amazing, too good to be true... Is it? Check it out

I'm waiting for a spaceship to fly by or a moonworker to fall asleep in his moisture evaporator.
But I don't want to waste my time watching fakery.

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Well, the moon cam certainly looks real.

No pixelization on the horizon and nothing is shifting like it's being redrawn at any rate.

I take that back, sudden scene shift as it went to the dark side. Recorded.

I don't think that there are more cams available to the public.
I wonder what would they do if I would launch my own cube sat with an HD camera

Hi

I have my own setup, a good thermal camera looking up 24/7, connected to a piece of software called Xeoma which records action when something moves.
You can do the same by placing a webcam on a window looking up, and installing Xeoma, the free version on your computer.
So far I have caught a very nice orb, and many airplanes and birds...
Cheers.

The moon webcam may have been live at one point (I suspect it's just one of the many HDTV movies they released rather than an actual live camera) but it isn't now, the probe concerned hit the moon in 2009 at the end of its life.

What do you expect to see?

If I know ATS,

They would call it fake too.

Great thanks. Iced tea all over the place.

The Moon video is several years old, it was taken by the Kaguya/SELENE mission, and it was more of a publicity stunt from NHK, a Japanese TV station, than a scientific part of the mission.

Edited to add: 11 years old.

Thank you for this. I didn't know. This could be viable for me.a reply to: arit_

Thanks to everyone who has responded.
Appy Polly Lodges for the laziness of my op.
I've continued looking into the feeds available to be and come up wanting.

Mind you, the Earth has been under continuous camera observation for almost 50 years; ever since the first geosynchronous weather satellite was launched:
US Satellites
European Satellites
Japanese Satellites
Indian Satellites
