A dust-covered selfie of the InSight lander on Mars. The image shows the lander's solar panels heavily coated in Martian dust, reducing its power generation. This dust accumulation signals the likely end of InSight's operational lifespan after over 1400 sols of groundbreaking research including detecting over 1300 marsquakes.
