Cloudy Day [1]

Clouds skip through the skies of Mars in this recent sequence from InSight, NASA's most recent Mars lander. The thick cloud cover darkened the sky dramatically, which also reduced the amount of solar power available for the probe's solar panels. InSight is using a seismometer and a heat probe to study the planet's interior. [NASA/JPL]
