Moon-Bound Spacecraft Captures Beautiful Photo of Earth

Blue Ghost, a lunar lander designed by Firefly Aerospace and hired by NASA to deliver scientific experiments to the Moon, snapped the photo as it gears up for its inaugural attempt at a lunar landing.

The striking Earth photos were captured during Blue Ghost’s second engine burn — a critical milestone on its journey to the Moon. After two more weeks of circling Earth, the spacecraft will execute its Trans Lunar Injection, a pivotal maneuver that propels it onto a Moon-bound trajectory.
