First pictures from red planet sent by NASA's Insight Lander on arrival.

NASA InSight Lander Arrives on Martian Surface and reports as follows:

“My first picture on #Mars! My lens cover isn’t off yet, but I just had to show you a first look at my new home.”

The picture of the Martian surface was taken by the camera located on the robotic arm of NASA’s InSight lander on November 26, 2018. The picture can be seen below.

Thank you so much Maisie for your comments. The quote posted above is from the tweet reading as under:
"My first picture on #Mars! My lens cover isn’t off yet, but I just had to show you a first look at my new home. More status updates:http://go.nasa.gov/InSightStatus #MarsLanding"
I have seen the other pictures sent by the Lander too as I have been following this particular Twitter Account created by NASA since long.
Stay well and cheerful, Maisie.

Isn't strange that scientists can do this, yet get climate science completely wrong......

You are absolutely right, sparklift. Scientists are humans too and humans are expected to get things wrong sometimes! Climate Science maybe one of them.
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Stay well and happy.
