HiRISE image is here:
https://www.uahirise.org/ESP_073077_2155 This was taken February 27th, about 2 months after impact; since ice isn't stable at that latitude, they will eventually vanish (though obviously much more time than the tiny chunks Phoenix dug up from its trench, but the higher daytime temperature should speed the process up somewhat. Presumably there will be follow-up HiRISE imagery? They ended the presser after half an hour, obviously not enough time to get all the questions. |

~285 Wh as of yesterday, which is about the level of the last precautionary seismometer deactivation. Coming up on vernal equinox there, so I assume it's still dust accumulation that's driving the trend. |

Sad news
On Dec. 18, 2022, NASA’s InSight did not respond to communications from Earth. The lander’s power has been declining for months, as expected, and it’s assumed InSight may have reached its end of operations. It’s unknown what prompted the change in its energy; the last time the mission contacted the spacecraft was on Dec. 15, 2022. The mission will continue to try and contact InSight. https://blogs.nasa.gov/insight/ |

Well done Insight! These stationary landers dont get the
press the rovers do, for obvious reasons, but this mission and Phoenix have done really important work. It was a shame about the heat flow probe, but next time I'm sure they will try something different. Everything else worked a treat, and I look forward to seeing publications coming from this mission for many years to come. I wonder when we will next we will next see a seismometer on Mars? P |

Farewell InSight, you were an amazing but underrated probe that made Mars geologically exciting again!

Very good! Too bad that albedo markings may have faded considerably by now, but it may be useful.
(in case the subject of this post is not clear, it's about a dark marking I suggested might be from the InSight cruise stage impact. It appeared on a CTX image taken a few weeks after landing but was not visible in the previous image, some years earlier. But it is a bit further south than I would like it to be.)

I'm doing planning this HiRISE cycle and I just want to say how much I appreciate having the CTX image number called out and a graphic showing what I need to be centering the image on (some of these fresh impact sites can be hard to spot). So if it has faded already, at least the image will be centered on it.

I was just looking at the new HiRISE image of the "InSight cruise stage impact candidate" as the description says. Unfortunately it is about 2 or 3 km too far west and misses the feature I had described.
