NASA’s spacecraft that landed on Mars on Monday has beamed back its first clear photo of the desolate Red Planet.
“There’s a quiet beauty here. Looking forward to exploring my new home,” NASA tweeted late Monday, hours after its new InSight lander touched down.
The image came after the rover had earlier sent back a somewhat blurry photo. The space agency said that in the interim, the spacecraft had opened its solar panels, which allowed it to recharge its batteries for the mission.

Looks like a really good place for folks who fear global warming to go. After all, the average temperature on Mars is -85°F. No global warming there!

looks like the desert at dusk....sometimes such stark pictures/vistas have the ability to trigger a poignancy in the viewer.

Interesting. The density of the Martian Atmosphere is about 1/1000th of the Earth’s atmosphere, and it’s mostly CO2. But it’s still dense enough to reflect light and present a “day-time” sky.
