Looks to my untrained eye like the side of the moon we can see, only maybe a little brighter. I'm sure the NASA folks meant to blur the clip a bit at 12.2 to obscure the base, but you can still see a tiny bit of it if you look real hard. .

Seriously, thanks for posting.

It's the first video from the Grail mission, not the first ever.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

I think it's about time for my bi-weekly Dark Side listening.
