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.

YESSSSSSS #MarsInSight

Se ha abierto el paracaídas. #bien #MarsInSight

Cada vez que dicen “supersonic parachute” me pongo toda tonta. #MarsInSight

Watching the elapsed event logger at the bottom of the screen is angst inducing to parachute deployment. #MarsInSight
