The spacecraft carried out the longest commercial operation on the moon to date—and also made history during its rare chance to document this celestial event

While making the deliveries, the Blue Ghost lander experienced one lunar day. During the course of that day, it captured several images and videos. It imaged a total solar eclipse from the surface of the moon and also took pictures of the sunset. In a post on social media, Firefly Aerospace referred to the sunset picture as the lander's farewell.

The Blue Ghost lunar lander, operated by Firefly Aerospace from Texas, became the first commercial spacecraft to image an eclipse from the moon.
