Blue Ghost, the lunar module from Firefly Aerospace, made an impressive capture while on its way to the Moon.
In a post made on X (formerly Twitter), the company impressed internet users by sharing a breathtaking video of the Earth and Moon together.
In the clip, filmed during the company’s Ghost Riders in the Sky mission, you can see the Moon in the distance before the Earth passes in front of its own natural satellite. “I spy with my little lander, a Moon in the distance,” says the caption.
“Check out Blue Ghost’s amazing view of Earth eclipsing the Moon as the lander travels on orbit. Our Ghost Riders can’t wait to share more postcard-worthy moments as we continue our journey.”
It is worth mentioning that, according to the website Space.com, the Blue Ghost is carrying 10 research payloads from NASA, which should enhance the understanding of the lunar environment and help collect data for the Artemis mission.
