Mars rover Spirit still silent after seven years on Mars
The Spirit rover, stuck in a sand trap since 2009, has not spoken to Earth since March and may never wake. NASA teams monitor two orbiters for a signal while continuing to listen and conserve power as sunlight increases. Spirit, launched January 2004, exceeded its three month mission and remains entombed on Mars with Opportunity nearby.

Beebe Arkansas Sees 1000 Birds Die In One Night
More than 1,000 black birds died and fell over a one mile area in Beebe Arkansas after reports began Saturday night. Ornithologist Karen Rowe cites physical trauma and possible causes such as lightning or high altitude hail. Fireworks and loud noise from New Year revelers may have startled the flock. About 65 birds were collected for testing at state and national labs.
