Incredible!

Thanks for posting—otherwise I would have never known of its existence.

One can learn a lot just reading the posts to FR!

Is this one of the pictures it took prior to losing power, or did they manage to get the solar panels configured to recharge the battery? I’ve not been keeping up on it.

It’s an iconic photo. Staggering just to contemplate what it is, and what it took to make the image.
