This shot is a whisper from the cosmos!
The setting Sun seen by #BlueGhost.
Venus, solitary & shining, between our Earth and the lunar horizon.
It's the first time we've seen it like this, from the surface of the Moon, and it almost seems like the cosmos is reaching out to us.

This is what Firefly's Blue Ghost lander saw as the Sun set on Sunday.
The Sun is the bright lightsource at the horizon.
At top is Earth (you can't quite tell it's gibbous).
And that bright star between the two is Venus. I have never seen a photo of Venus from the surface of the Moon before.
