A lunar lander has completed its two-week mission and sent spectacular sunset images as a "final goodbye" back to Earth.
The Blue Ghost Mission 1 lander was launched by Firefly Aerospace in mid-January and landed on the moon on March 2. It was the first successful commercial moon landing. The lander delivered 10 NASA science and delivery payloads to the Mare Crisium basin, which is a lava-flooded region on the near side of the moon formed by an asteroid impact.
Those payloads will be used to collect data and perform other scientific operations on the moon, NASA said in a news release. The payloads are delivered as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services and Artemis programs, the space agency said.

A Columbia University student and green card holder arrested by U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York City over his involvement in the pro-Palestinian campus protests made his first public remarks since being taken into custody earlier this month, in which he described himself as a "political prisoner."

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer provided new details about the Trump administration's deportation flights of alleged gang members, but continued to argue the government had a right to reject a judge's order directing the planes to return to the U.S., even if they were already in the air.
