May be the last image I can send: Insight rover says it is signing off from Mars

Live Mint  

NASA’s InSight spacecraft, the first robotic lander designed to study the deep interior of a distant world, which touched down safely on the surface of Mars four years with instruments to detect planetary seismic rumblings has put out a post in its official Twiiter handle which is signalling the end of the rover in Mars. InSight gathered new information about Mars' three major layers – crust, mantle, and core. Scientists found that the crust beneath InSight is somewhat thinner than expected – about 15 to 25 miles thick, comprising three internal layers. InSight also investigated the upper mantle using seismic waves traveling through depths of about 500 miles before returning to the surface.
