The next week a spacecraft set entered the lunar orbit to try a moon landing and captured a beautiful view of the Earth’s natural satellite.
Blue Ghost Lunar Lander and NASA have been hired by NASA to give scientific experiments on the moon, designed by firefly aerospace, has stripped a series of best images during his journey which is now close to its end .
On Thursday, 13 February, Blue Ghost fired his engines for four minutes and 15 seconds to bring himself to Lunar orbit in Chandra Orbit on 2 March. To mark this milestone, the firefly aerospace released the imagery of the moon taken with its new convenience. point.
I love you to the moon, but not back – I am living there, “, Blue Ghost. We captured the first shots of the moon after a successful lunar class. Will start scoring the class on 2 March. #BGM1 pic.twitter.com/2fClz1hnvb

Blue ghost first Earth’s stunning scene captured Show the planet of the spacecraft’s house as a blue marble brightness against the huge emptiness of space.
The Blue Ghost Lander is about two meters long and 3.5 meters wide and will touched below a volcanic feature called Mons Latrall.
NASA Deputy Administrator Palm Melroy says, “This mission symbolizes the bold spirit of NASA’s Artemis campaign – a campaign run by scientific exploration and discovery.”
“Each flight we have an important step in large blueprints to establish a responsible, constant human appearance. Every scientific equipment and technology performance brings us closer to realizing our vision. ,
Blue Ghost aims to become the first lunar sunset photographer
Hopefully, the blue ghost will successfully land on the moon and when it does, its purpose will become the first spacecraft. To take a picture of a sunset From the perspective of the moon.
Here on Earth, we are used to grow the sun and it is set again after about 12 hours. But sunset and sunrise work differently on the moon: a lunar day lasts about 29.5 Earth days (the amount of time takes the moon to complete a full rotation on its axis). This means that when the Sun rises on the moon, it does not go back again for one and 14 Earth days.
Apollo missions were timed so that the crew landed on the lunar surface at the beginning of the window of two weeks, giving them a lot of time to complete their scientific work. But all this is to say that no one knows what a sunset on the moon really looks like.
