Missed Thursday's total lunar eclipse? No problem, Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost mission has you covered. The lander took a quick break from its science operations on the Moon to capture this stunning image of a lunar eclipse. From our perspective, we see the Earth's shadow fall on the Moon, eventually turning it red when the light from the world's sunsets falls upon it simultaneously. But from the Moon, it's the Sun that disappears behind the Earth.
