NASA InSight lander delivers first clear image of Mars landing site
https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-insight-lander-delivers-first-clear-image-of-mars-landing-site/
The dust-free image was posted by the ever-poetic @NASAInSight Twitter account (which we are choosing to believe is actually run by InSight and not a savvy social media team) late Monday evening, mere hours after InSight had officially touched down. This, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, is InSight's first clear view of Elysium Planitia, its new home.
Though InSight has been getting all the attention, spare a thought for the two MarCO CubeSats that accompanied the new lander to Mars. MarCO B, nicknamed Wall-E, beamed back its own image of the Red Planet not long after landing -- the first time that a CubeSat has taken a photo in deep space.
