NASA’s InSight has captured its last photo, officially saying goodbye in a tweet from the lander’s Twitter account.
NASA’s InSight Lander is finally counting down its last moments. We’ve known that the spacecraft monitoring marsquakes and other surface-level activity on the Red Planet was on the way out for a while now. However, NASA has finally shared InSight’s last photo in a new tweet, saying goodbye for the last time.
InSight landed on Mars back in November of 2018. For the past four years, the lander has studied the surface activity of the Red Planet, documenting massive marsquakes that have sent ripples through the planet itself. Unfortunately, over the past four years, the lander has had one big problem – the Martian weather.
