Sunset seen on the moon in groundbreaking images taken by Blue Ghost lunar lander - The photos were the last the lander beamed back to Earth before falling silent

A space robot said "goodnight" to the moon as it completed its mission, capturing the first high-definition images of a lunar sunset before it fell silent.

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.
