NASA’s InSight snaps a clear view of Mars’ surface

After quite the journey, NASA’s InSight has landed on Mars. But what’s a trip without a happy snap?

While we savoured a dusty photo beamed back to Earth shortly after its landing, the spacecraft has sent another photo home, showing us a clearer glimpse of the red planet’s surface.

The lander also relayed signals back to base, indicating that it has opened its solar panels and is collecting sunlight, allowing it to recharge.

Our Mars Odyssey orbiter phoned home, relaying news from @NASAInSight indicating its solar panels are open & collecting sunlight on the Martian surface.
