CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A privately owned lunar lander touched down near the moon’s south pole Thursday, but as the minutes ticked by, flight controllers could not confirm its condition or whether it was even upright. The last time Intuitive Machines landed a spacecraft on the moon, a year ago, it ended up sideways.

While parts of the Earth saw a total lunar eclipse, the Blue Ghost lunar lander captured stunning imagery of a solar eclipse on Friday. See the rare view here.
