In Photos: Spacecraft Captures Historic Moon’s-Eye View Of ‘Blood Moon’ Eclipse
A historic moment has been captured by a spacecraft as it witnessed the “blood moon” eclipse from an unprecedented perspective – the lunar surface. The Blue Ghost lander, operated by Firefly Aerospace, successfully imaged the event, providing scientists with valuable insights and the public with breathtaking visuals.
The image shows the Earth blocking the sun’s light, casting a reddish glow on the lunar surface. This is a unique view of an eclipse that has never been captured before from the moon. The historic moment marks a significant milestone for space exploration and astronomy.
“We hope to downlink more imagery soon once our X-band antenna warms up from the cold temperatures faced in the darkness of totality,” stated Firefly Aerospace in a blog post, hinting at additional images that will be shared with the public in the near future.
This unprecedented view provides an unparalleled perspective on this rare phenomenon.
