There aren't a lot of scientific problems left that can be progressed by "point a video camera at where the science is happening". But the mechanics of lunar regolith is one of those problems; and the results we get from videos like this are going to be *immensely* helpful.

What's really weird is that, growing up in Colorado Springs, I *didn't* consider this kind of weather shift to be weird at all. (Photos taken 24 hours apart)
