It's apparently expected to keep running for a few more months, but it's still sad.

I remember being thirteen and watching it land over the Internet (my parents are both space physicists).

Have you seen the latest xkcd about it?

It's where I first heard. Apparently NASA is trying to alter the angle of the solar panels to catch some more light, but by mid-feb they'll have to devote all power to heat as the martian winter hits.

Not nearly as sad as what happened to the Beagle, though.
