Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.

Off to the northwest from the landing site there is a hill. It was very faintly visible in early panoramas posted here, and I was just looking at it again in recent images. Here's a view of it accompanied by a version of the same image stretched vertically (Me-o-vision style) to make it easier to see the shape. It looks as if it has a lower extension to the right which I had not seen before. This may help identify it in HiRISE images (I had 2 candidates). This is a composite of two recent images.
Let me know if you spot any other small distant hills like this. There is a distant long ridge to the east which is easy to spot on orbital images. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
