Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery... from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick clip. The red hue is the result of sunlight refracting through the Earth's atmosphere as the sun is blocked by our planet, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The glowing ring of the eclipse is again seen on Blue Ghost’s solar panel. #BGM1show more

I spy with my little lander, a Moon in... the distance. Check out Blue Ghost's amazing view of Earth eclipsing the Moon as the lander travels on orbit. Our #GhostRiders can't wait to share more postcard worthy moments as we continue on our roadtrip. #BGM1show more

You don’t go on a long road trip without... your charger and a trip to the Moon is no exception! Blue Ghost’s 4 batteries are now charged up and ready for the journey ahead. We’ll utilize these batteries as needed throughout the mission when sunlight is limited, such as in the lunar morning and lunar night. #BGM1show more

T-5 days until Blue Ghost says goodbye to Earth!... With the accuracy we achieved on our first two burns, we were able to skip the third Earth orbit maneuver. Blue Ghost is already in a good position to perform our trans-lunar injection in just under a week. Our #GhostRiders continue to capture some incredible shots of our home planet along the way. #BGM1show more

Watch our Blue Ghost Mission 2 lunar lander come... together! This timelapse captures the assembly of our lander's main structural and fluid components. Next up, integrating avionics, payloads, and engines. Our Riders 2 the Dark mission features two vehicles: our Blue Ghost lander stacked atop our Elytra orbiter. Each is assembled separately before stacking at the launch site, creating a 22-foot-tall spacecraft—more than 3X the height of our Mission 1 lander. Stay tuned for Elytra stacking in the coming weeks!show more

Rare red auroras lit up the night sky over... Hanle, Ladakh, after the most intense solar storm in over two decades hit Earth. This stunning celestial show is caused by charged solar particles interacting with our atmosphere, a beautiful yet sobering reminder of solar volatility.show more

Captured over Fairbanks, Alaska, this is one of those... rare moments where science and imagination collide. What looks like a glowing, winged figure in the sky is actually an intense auroral display - shaped entirely by the invisible forces of Earth's magnetic field. Auroras form when charged particles from the Sun collide with gases high above our planet. But the colors here tell a deeper story.show more

A giant canyon on the Sun On July 15,... a powerful flare occurred on the surface of the Sun, which briefly changed its structure and caused the release of hot plasma into space. As a result of this event, a plasma "scar" about 400,000 kilometers long appeared. This is approximately the distance from the Earth to the Moon. The height of the structure reaches 20,000 kilometers. All this was recorded with high accuracy by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).show more

According to NASA, a lunar eclipse occurred today exactly... 1,993 years ago, on a Friday, which many believe was the day of the crucifixion of Jesus. ( April 3, 33AD) This year, Easter falls on the same Sunday as in the year 33, if that was really the date of the resurrection. This is an interesting coincidence. Donald Trump was born on a blood moon, the war with Iran started a few days before a blood moon in Leo, and the operation is called “Roaring Lion.” I will tell you my date for the crucifixion and the resurrection later today, in my opinion, it is connected to a solar eclipse.show more

Video from the asteroid! In 2018, the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft... deployed small rovers onto the surface of the asteroid Ryugu. This is a sequence of 15 frames captured by Rover-1B. As the asteroid rotates, the position of the Sun and the surface lighting change. The video spans a period of one hour and 14 minutes.show more

Our Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, built upon the Blue Ring... platform, will strengthen the communications backbone at the Red Planet while creating new pathways for science. Capable of delivering multiple payloads to the surface and orbits of Mars, it drives discovery today and prepares for the next chapter of human exploration. Blue Ring is mission-ready to support NASA’s Mars Telecommunications Network program. Learn more:show more

The biblical prophecy about the sun turning dark is... not about a solar eclipse; it is about a Grand Solar Minimum and global cooling. During a Grand Solar Minimum the sun is less active, the Earth is bombarded with cosmic rays, volcanic activity increases, and clouds cover the sky. The sun turning dark is mentioned in Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:7, Joel 2:10, 2:31, 3:15, Matthew 24:29, and Revelation 6:12. These passages refer to past and future civilizational collapses. The elites expect the next Grand Solar Minimum between 2030–2040, or by 2050 at the latest. That is why they are preparing while keeping you in the dark.show more

Our vibrant blue planet Earth isn't alone—it's constantly encircled... by a chaotic swarm of ancient space rocks, from tiny pebbles to massive asteroids, remnants of the solar system's wild birth 4.5 billion years ago. These cosmic wanderers zip through the void at blistering speeds, occasionally grazing our atmosphere in fiery meteor showers or even impacting with world-altering force, like the dinosaur-ending chicxulub crater! This invisible rocky halo reminds us of the dynamic, dangerous dance of our celestial neighborhood.show more

On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe descending through... Titan’s atmosphere revealed one of the rarest views in space exploration. From Saturn’s moon Titan, Earth and the Moon crossed in front of the Sun as tiny shadows nearly a billion miles away. What makes it even more incredible is how rare the alignment was. A perfectly central Earth and Moon transit from Saturn’s system happens only about twice every 1,000 years. From that distance, our entire planet looked small enough to disappear into the sunlight.show more

Auroras lit up Alaska’s skies last night 🌌 A... stunning reminder that Earth is protected by an invisible shield. When high-energy particles from the Sun race toward our planet, they collide with Earth’s magnetic field. Instead of reaching the surface, they’re steered along magnetic lines toward the poles, where they release their energy as glowing light high in the atmosphere. Without this powerful magnetic bubble, life on Earth simply wouldn’t exist.show more

A spectacular “Ring of Fire” just blazed across the... Antarctic sky today, February 17, 2026 — the first solar eclipse of the year, and a rare annular one that turned the Sun into a blazing celestial halo. In this stunning alignment, the Moon slipped between Earth and the Sun but — because it was near the farther point in its elliptical orbit (close to apogee) — appeared slightly smaller than the Sun's disk. Instead of total darkness, a brilliant ring of sunlight encircled the Moon's dark silhouette, creating that iconic fiery annulus for up to about 2 minutes and 20 seconds at maximum.The path of true annularity carved a narrow corridor roughly 616 km (383 miles) wide and 4,282 km (2,661 miles) long across the icy expanse of Antarctica — one of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth. Very few humans witnessed the full “Ring of Fire”: perhaps a handful at research stations like Concordia Station, where the peak hit around 19:47 local time (12:13 UTC / 7:13 a.m. EST), with the Sun about 96% obscured.Everywhere else in the vast southern regions, the eclipse appeared as a dramatic partial bite taken from the Sun. Partial phases were visible across:Much of southern Africa (including South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar) The southern tips of Argentina and Chile Broad swaths of the Southern Ocean, Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans The event kicked off with the first partial shadows around 09:56 UTC, reached maximum at 12:13 UTC, and wrapped up by 14:27 UTC — a roughly 4.5-hour celestial dance viewed from half a hemisphere away.Astronomy enthusiasts and scientists alike marveled at the precision of orbital mechanics on display: the Moon's apparent size just shy of perfect coverage, the Sun's corona faintly visible around the edges in safe-filtered views, and the eerie dimming of daylight in partial zones.This remote spectacle kicks off what many are calling a golden age of eclipses — with a total solar eclipse coming up on August 12, 2026 (visible from Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain), followed by more totals and annulars through 2028.A reminder of cosmic rhythm: even in the harshest, loneliest corners of our planet, the universe puts on a show of breathtaking beauty and perfect timing.(Sources: NASA eclipse resources, Wikipedia Solar Eclipse of February 17, 2026, EarthSky, and related astronomical reports.)show more

Our Blue Ghost Mission 2 milestones are stacking up...... 22 feet to be exact! The team completed structure qualification testing at NASA JPL on our fully stacked Blue Ghost lander and Elytra Dark orbiter model. After a series of vibration and acoustic tests, this milestone helps prove our spacecraft are equipped to withstand the intense environments they’ll experience during launch and in transit to the Moon. Congrats to the team and thanks JPL for the hospitality at y'alls historic test facility. More on the mission here:show more
