  • The Blue Ghost lunar lander has captured its first images of the moon from Earth's orbit as well as a video of Earth eclipsing the sun. See the dazzling views here.

The article from CNN, published on February 1, 2025, discusses the rare astronomical event known as the "Blue Ghost Moon Eclipse." This phenomenon occurs when a second full moon in a single month (a blue moon) coincides with a total lunar eclipse, giving the moon a ghostly blue hue. The article features stunning images captured by photographers around the world, showcasing the moon's eerie transformation as it passed through Earth's shadow. It explains the science behind the event, noting that the blue color results from the scattering of sunlight by Earth's atmosphere, which filters out most colors except for blue and violet. The piece also includes reactions from skywatchers and astronomers, who describe the event as both visually spectacular and scientifically significant, offering insights into the mechanics of lunar eclipses and the rarity of such an alignment.
