Hey everyone,
The latest Mars probe is due to touch down on the red planet later today! InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport is designed to study the interior of Mars which will help with our understanding on how the planet was formed. The lander will also study tectonic activity and meteorite impacts that are currently happening on Mars!
You can read up on the details over on NASA's website which has tons of information about the lander and it's mission.
You can also watch a live stream of the landing from Mission Control which I've embedded below in case you wanted to watch.
Let us know if you're planning to watch the landing live and what your overall thoughts on the mission are!

I'm sure there will be better pictures once the lens cover is removed properly....

They shared a much better picture on the bbc site once the the lens cap was properly off!
Can't wait for some more meaningful data to start coming in.
