Wreckage of Beagle found scattered in Mars crater
Talk about being unlucky assuming this is confirmed. |

I didn't see one on the page linked by imram but the BBC has a picture.
I hope they have a 'before' shot, else I'm going to be more than a little skeptical. James -------------------- |

I hope they have a 'before' shot, else I'm going to be more than a little skeptical. James The BBC image show exactly the same feature linked in ermar post, but negative/contrast-enhanced version. Below I made a resume poster of identification... If identification is correct, there is a commonality between Opportunity and Beagle: both landed inside craters of similar sizes...! Howewer, looking to the high-res crater images, I'm very skeptical too. A promising elevated structure visible in original 1.5 m/pixel MOC view (lower inset) seems not visible in the cPROTO obtained in April 2004 (upper inset), obtained under similar illumination condition; the presumed "airbag" feature in the crater center doesn't convince me... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
