NASA's InSight has captured its last photo, officially saying goodbye in a tweet from the lander's Twitter account.

According to the tweet shared with the image, NASA isn’t sure whenIt might not seem like that big of a deal, but many have stayed with InSight over the past four years, watching as the lander capturedand worked to overcome its dwindling power supply.
On top of capturing the sound of meteorites hitting the planet, InSight also taught us a lot about the internal structure of the planet. And to finally see InSight’s last photo feels like a sad closing to a story that ended far too soon. Thankfully we still have other spacecraft like Perseverance to help teach us about Mars.
