En route to land on the moon, a spacecraft snapped views of Earth eclipsing the sun.
The Blue Ghost lunar lander, built by the Texas-based company Firefly Aerospace for NASA, launched to space on Jan. 15, and is slated to attempt a challenging moon landing on March 2. Now in Earth’s orbit, the robotic craft has opportunities to capture poignant solar system imagery.
“Witness Earth eclipsing the Sun from Blue Ghost’s top deck — another incredible postcard moment on our trip to the Moon!” Firefly Aerospace recently posted online.
