Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

There is a new paper by Mariah Baker (Smithsonian Inst.) et al. in JGR-Planets about changes at the InSight landing site (following on from an earlier paper by Charalambous et al. in GRL). The changes include dust devil tracks. I don't recall whether illustrations of this had been posted here before so I made a new one based on work in that paper.
The image shows two Context Camera images from sols 228 and 232, plus a representation of the difference between them (VERY contrast-stretched). Looking at the raw images, you see no obvious changes but the difference image reveals two dark streaks on the edge of Homestead Hollow. They are dust devil tracks and they can be correlated with tracks in HiRISE images and with data from the meteorology instrument. Note these were made from the JPL raw images page, not the PDS images which would be better. Any pair of images a few sols apart with similar lighting can be compared in this way.
