What does an eclipse look like from the moon? Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander just sent back a stunning image from the lunar surface.
The commercial space company’s lander, which touched down on the moon’s surface without a hitch on March 2 as part of a mission for NASA, took a high-definition image of the total lunar eclipse from its top deck in the early hours of Friday — and it’s mighty beautiful.
“Blue Ghost caught her first look at the solar eclipse from the Moon around 12:30 am CDT on March 14 from our landing site in Mare Crisium,” Firefly wrote with the release of the image. “Notice the glowing ring of light emerge in the reflection of our solar panel as Earth began to block the sun.”
