A Different Take on the Lunar Eclipse

If you were lucky enough to capture the total lunar eclipse last Friday, you are lucky. However, the image above shows a very different view of the event from an even luckier little craft on the Moon’s surface. That’s right, Firefly’s Blue Ghost lunar lander took a moment away from its work to snap this amazing image of a solar eclipse caused by the Earth blocking to Sun’s light.

The future should bring more craft and even humans to the lunar surface, which will provide many more amazing images of our floating blue marble.
