InSight has clearly read a few articles on how to take the perfect selfie. High-angle, great lighting, edited to perfection, #nofilter -- and all the while avoiding the cliche MySpace bathroom selfie by traveling to another planet entirely. Bravo, little lander. I could learn a thing or two from you.

A second image was also beamed back by the lander, of its Martian office, the "crescent of terrain" (says NASA) that the lander will be stationed in while it bores through the soil. That image, below, was composed of 52 individual photos and displays a boring region of Elysium Planitia that lacks rocks, holes or bumps.
