  • Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lander captured a poignant view of a lunar sunrise in a lens-flare-filled image snapped from its new home on the moon.

The article from Forbes, published on March 4, 2025, discusses a stunning image captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) showing what a sunrise looks like from the surface of the Moon. The image, taken at the Moon's south pole, captures the moment when the Sun rises over the lunar horizon, casting long shadows and highlighting the rugged terrain. This rare perspective provides insights into the lunar environment, showcasing the stark contrast between light and shadow due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere. The article explains how this visual phenomenon occurs because of the Moon's slow rotation, which results in long periods of darkness followed by equally long periods of sunlight. The image not only serves as a visual treat but also aids scientists in understanding the thermal dynamics and potential landing sites for future lunar missions.
