The Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost lander successfully finished its mission yesterday. After spending 14 days on the surface of the moon in Mare Crisium and deploying all of its science instruments, BlueGhost turned its lights off as the sun disappeared over the barren horizon and the cold brutal night set in.
After sending some delightful images of the lunar eclipse as seen from the moon on March 14 (see diary Last night's Lunar Eclipse as seen from the Moon!), Blue Ghost sent these two images taken with the Sun very low on the horizon.

The shadow selfie again, this time facing in the opposite direction than the one during landing,
This is a stunning timelapse video of the lunar sunset released today. Earth and Venus are also seen above the setting Sun.
This is the final message written by the Firefly team on behalf of Blue Ghost — referring to the new mode of operation as the “Monument Mode?!”
