The Blue Ghost lunar lander, operated by Firefly Aerospace from Texas, became the first commercial spacecraft to image an eclipse from the moon.

The privately-owned lander turned its cameras toward Earth as our planet cast its shadow over the moon. It’s not the first spacecraft to do so.

While parts of the Earth saw a total lunar eclipse, the Blue Ghost lunar lander captured stunning imagery of a solar eclipse on Friday. See the rare view here.

The event marks the first time a commercial company has been able to actively operate on the moon and observe a total solar eclipse.

In the Americas alone more than one billion people in 35 countries could bear witness to the total lunar eclipse.
