The Lunar Sunset Night Thread (April 27, 2025)

NASA and Firefly Aerospace released images at a press conference on March 18 of the first high-definition photos of a lunar sunset from the Moon, captured by the Blue Ghost lander.

Firefly’s Blue Ghost lander captured the first HD imagery of a lunar sunset from the Moon on March 16. These images, captured by different camera angles and stitched together in a video, show a horizon glow that comes to life just above the Moon’s surface as the sun goes down. Earth and Venus (further in the distance) are also shown above the Moon.

Alas, no sightings as yet of any whalers on the Moon.
