Cosmo Blue Ghost
On its way to the moon, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander has taken its first space pictures as it orbits Earth.
The Texas-based company has been sharing the breathtaking videos and images in the weeks since Blue Ghost’s launch on January 15. The lander was part of a shared SpaceX ride that also carried the private lunar lander Resilience, built by Japanese company Ispace. Packed with science payloads for NASA, Blue Ghost is taking a long, “scenic route” to the moon—and the new visuals prove just how stunning of a route it is.
