Private spacecraft Blue Ghost lands on Moon
A private spacecraft has landed on the Moon, becoming only the second commercial vehicle to reach the lunar surface.
Blue Ghost left Earth on January 15, after being launched by US firm Firefly Aerospace with the intention of exploring the Sea of Crises, a huge crater visible from Earth.
The project is the latest collaboration by US space agency Nasa and private companies.
Intuitive Machines, another firm, is hoping to land its Athena spacecraft near the Moon's south pole in the next few days.
