In addition to these payloads, Texas-based Firefly performed some work of its own on the Moon. Blue Ghost captured a total solar eclipse from the Moon on March 14, while Earth simultaneously experienced a total lunar eclipse. Two days later, Blue Ghost caught a lunar sunset, with Earth appearing over the lunar horizon.

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost moon lander went dark in the lunar night on Sunday (March 16) as expected, bringing an end to its historic mission.
