Blue Ghost lander captures solar eclipse from moon

yahoo.com

Firefly's Blue Ghost lander captured images of a solar eclipse on March 14 from the moon's surface. The lander recorded the red light effect as Earth blocked the sun, creating a unique perspective of the event. The new video shows the lander bathed in red light, caused by sunlight refracting through Earth's atmosphere. This imagery follows a previous photo of the diamond ring effect as the sun began to reappear. In the video, Venus appears as a small dot above the eclipse, with Mercury visible to its left. The images were quickly stitched together using different exposure settings from the lander's top deck camera.
