Blue Ghost, a moon lander from Firefly Aerospace, captured the first high-definition photos of the lunar sunset from the moon's surface.

Thanks to pioneering materials from the private lander Blue Ghost, scientists may finally be able to explain the phenomenon of the "horizon glow" and the mechanism of "dust levitation" on the surface of the Moon.

Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander captured high-definition images of the lunar sunset March 16, as lunar night would bring the robotic mission to an end.

Firefly's Blue Ghost Mission 1, which lasted about 14 days, or the equivalent of one lunar day, marks the longest commercial mission on the Moon to date, according to company.

Firefly Aerospace and NASA released the stunning photos Tuesday, taken before the Blue Ghost lander fell silent over the weekend. One shot included Venus in the distance. Firefly’s Blue Ghost landed on the moon on March 2,
