The Blue Ghost lander has captured a unique image: its shadow on the lunar surface with Earth in the background. The photo was successfully transmitted thanks to the deployment of an X-band antenna, enabling the transfer of high-resolution data and images.
The image not only showcases the lander’s shadow but also highlights the beauty of Earth as seen from the Moon. This was made possible after a precise landing and successful communication setup, paving the way for further exploration.
On March 14, Blue Ghost is set to capture a total eclipse—when Earth completely blocks the Sun. The anticipated high-resolution image will provide scientists with valuable data on the lunar perspective of this celestial event.
