Mars InSight lander that has beamed images for 4 years has gone silent

The Mars InSight lander that has been beaming observations about the Red Planet for more than four years has gone silent, NASA has confirmed. Scientists at NASA said they had thought the end was coming for some time, as dust on the spacecraft’s solar panels were preventing it from recharging. Its final message, relayed by NASA, was a poignant one: “My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.”
