What the far side of the Moon looks like up close: the private module Blue Ghost has revealed this in a video.

The private landing module Blue Ghost from the American company Firefly Aerospace is gradually descending to make a historic landing on the Moon's surface this Sunday, March 2. While at an altitude of 100 km above the Earth's satellite, the module captured stunning images of the cratered far side of the Moon, as reported by Space.

The Blue Ghost landing module has sent back a new batch of incredible lunar images taken during its latest orbital descent maneuver. On March 2, it will aim to make history by landing on the Moon's surface. From a height of 100 km, the module showcased the far side of the Moon in close-up using its onboard camera.

The creator of the module, Firefly Aerospace, compiled the breathtaking photographs and released a short video that not only displays the cratered surface of the Earth's satellite but also part of the landing craft flying over the Moon.

In particular, the video highlights the landing module's engines, which are used for trajectory adjustments, as well as the protective heat shields that safeguard the craft's systems from extreme temperatures.

The Blue Ghost module is set to deliver several innovative instruments and experiments from NASA to the Moon, enabling the study of the lunar surface and environment. This data is essential for NASA's preparations for a future astronaut landing on the Moon, scheduled to take place in two years, if all goes according to plan.

The private landing module will conduct lunar research, along with studying the effects of solar wind on the Moon, for a duration of two weeks. This is the length of a lunar day, during which the surface receives ample sunlight, necessary for recharging the Blue Ghost module's batteries. The mission will conclude when the lunar night arrives.
