InSight beams home its first photo from the surface of Mars

Mars looks like a dusty wasteland in the first photo from NASA’s InSight lander sent from the surface of the red planet.

The image, taken moments after landing, shows the rust-colored surface of Mars from InSight’s perspective through a fisheye lens. 

The photo looks particularly obscured because the camera still has its dust-covered protective covering on it, according to NASA.
