Combining no less than eleven images taken on December 6, 2018 (Sol 10), the InSight team assembled this beautiful view of the entire lander, excluding of course the robotic arm itself on which the Instrument Deployment Camera (IDC) that took the individual photos is mounted (see https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA22876).
In addition to the lander itself were taken 52 photos of the working area where they will be placed the seismometer and the probe to detect the heat in the subsoil, which to the great joy of the InSight team was found to be a smooth ground and almost entirely free of stones (see https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA22874).
