Blue Ghost touched down on the Moon two weeks ago – and beamed back some stunning footage of its soft landing in never-before-seen detail, including "first-of-its-kind" footage of a lunar lander's engine plumes interacting with the lunar surface.

The commercial space company's lander, which touched down on the moon without a hitch on March 2 as part of a mission for NASA, took a high-definition image of the eclipse from its top deck in the early hours of Friday — and it's mighty beautiful.

The first private lunar lander to pull off a fully successful Moon mission has fallen silent. Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander fell silent at the weekend, wrapping up two weeks of science experiments for Nasa. The end came as the sun set at the Moon, no longer providing energy for the lander’s solar panels.
