Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander has beamed home stunning views of the moon from an altitude of just 62 miles (100 kilometers).

Firefly Aerospace, a Texas-based private aerospace company, released video from the Blue Ghost spacecraft orbiting the moon. Since entering the moon's orbit on 13 February, the lunar lander has been preparing for its landing by lowering its orbit. It will attempt to make a descent on the lunar surface on 2 March.

Over a half-century after astronauts walked on the moon, landing remains a daunting endeavor. On March 2, Texas-based Firefly Aerospace will attempt the ambitious feat, as it will direct its robotic Blue Ghost spacecraft to land in Mare Crisium,
