One more image posted at the IM-1 update page, including an (overexposed) crescent Earth. (link to full-res)
(Also an implication that it has finally gone dark.)

A Fitting Farewell From Odysseus
Before its power was depleted, Odysseus completed a fitting farewell transmission. Received today, this image from February 22nd showcases the lunar vista with the crescent Earth in the backdrop, a subtle reminder of humanity’s presence in the universe.
Goodnight, Odie. We hope to hear from you again.

(GHY-6 seems to be tracking IM-1 at the moment, but has neither transmitted nor been in lock so far this pass.)

I have identified a few of the features in the last Intuitive Machines last image release, on an LRO image of the IM-1 Odysseus landing site.[attachment=54697:IM_1_features_1.jpg]
Zoom in on the LRO image to see the small identified feature numbers.

Wrap-up press release (dated yesterday EST); not much new beyond confirming IM-1 "entered standby mode on February 29, 2024".

(But there's another GHY-6 pass scheduled for tonight. Odd.)

The Sun has risen at the IM-1 site. Maybe there will be an attempt to revive it.

Meanwhile, this is a very tentative experimental map of its landing site. Unfortunately, none of the descent images we have looked in the right direction to view the surface on which it landed, the the base is a grossly over-enlarged LRO image.

This is subject to change as we learn more.

There's an update dated March 23rd on Intuitive Machines' site. They listened, but didn't hear anything.
QUOTE
Intuitive Machines started listening for Odie’s wake-up signal on March 20, when we projected enough sunlight would potentially charge the lander's power system and turn on its radio.
As of March 23rd at 1030 A.M. Central Standard Time, flight controllers decided their projections were correct, and Odie’s power system would not complete another call home.

(I did occasionally look at the GHY-6 live status, but didn't catch it being scheduled for IM-1. They may of course have been using other antenna(s).)
