Looks like that's it for the Opportunity Mars rover. Not a bad way to go though... taken out by a global dust storm - the biggest ever recorded - 15 years into a 90-day mission.

Tonight's last attempt to contact Opportunity will be in just a few hours as I type this. 04:10 to 05:40 UTC, over DSS-14, the big 70-meter antenna out in the California desert at the Goldstone complex. Looking for squiggles on the downlink. (The current UTC time is in the upper right of the left frame on the linked page. The little "i" near it explains the "squiggles" - that's my technical term - above each antenna. )
