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.

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?
