Excerpt:
So near and yet so far. New images show that the UK\342\200\231s Beagle 2 successfully
landed on the surface of Mars in 2003 but failed to fully deploy its solar
panels. Without these, it could not communicate with Earth and scientists lost
contact.

The discovery images come from the HiRISE camera on Nasa\342\200\231s Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter. They show a bright shape that looks like the lander with some of its
solar panels deployed.
