The lander snapped the photo at around 1:30AM ET on Friday morning, as the Earth slowly blocked a view of the Sun. The solar eclipse on the Moon occurred at the same time as a total lunar eclipse here on Earth. Terrestrial viewers saw the lunar surface turn a red hue.<\/p>\n

Firefly released another image from the earlier part of the eclipse that shows the lander\u2019s solar panel as the Sun starts to hide behind Earth\u2019s shadow. Cool stuff, right?<\/p>\n Firefly\u2019s Blue Ghost lander <\/a> on the Moon on Sunday, March 2 at around 3:30AM ET. It landed upright, with no issues. This is something that cannot be said about <\/a>.<\/p>\n This is Firefly\u2019s first mission to the Moon, so Blue Ghost is packed with ten NASA instruments designed to probe the lunar surface and gather data to (hopefully) support upcoming human missions to the natural satellite. This is all part of NASA\u2019s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative. The lander is set to operate on the lunar surface until March 16.<\/p>\n Firefly says it will try to downlink more images from the eclipse once Blue Ghost\u2019s X-band antenna has warmed up after being stuck in the cold throughout the event. The company has already shown off some nifty POV footage of the landing.<\/p>\n This article originally appeared on Engadget at https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/science\/space\/fireflys-blue-ghost-lander-snapped-an-incredible-pic-of-a-solar-eclipse-from-the-moon-180231560.html?src=rss\n
