The power of a photograph lies in its ability to transmit emotions. That is what the image of the impressive sunset on the moon achieves. When we thought there were no new ways of getting excited with our satellite, the image achieves otherwise. NASA is responsible for beautiful photography.
The Lunar Blue Ghost 1 landing module captured stunning images of sunset on the lunar surface. He managed to do it hours before exhausting his batteries and finishing his mission.
Horizon glow
«We are honored to share with the world these impressive views of the glow of the lunar horizon at the end of our mission. NASA’s team is excited. What they expect is to analyze these images in more detail and share more findings ». This was written by Firefly Aerospace, manufacturer of the module that led NASA’s instrumental moon. Reflection is part of a text that accompanies a video broadcast on your YouTube account.
The mission of the Blue Ghost 1 lunar module concluded on March 16 after completing more than 14 days of surface operation. This mission includes 5 hours on a lunar night. It ended once the batteries were exhausted by not recharging the solar panels due to the absence of sunlight, as provided by those responsible for the mission.

The beauty of space
In total, it has a height of about 2 meters and 3 meters wide. Blue Ghost landed on March 2 in Mare Crisium, in the northeast quadrant of the visible side of the moon. Its 10 instruments of NASA Commercial Lunar Load Service (CLPS) successfully operated on the lunar surface. Thanks to that, they collected their scientific data.
Throughout the mission, Blue Ghost transmitted more than 119 GB of data to Earth. These include 51 GB of scientific and technological data, far exceeding the requirements of the Firefly mission. But he had time to capture the impressive sunset on the moon. And remind us how much beauty there is outside.
