As we all celebrate the holiday season with our friends and families, let’s not forget the holiday news sent from out of this world. The European Space Agency continues to wait for a signal from the Beagle 2, the British-made spacecraft meant to analyze the surface of planet Mars. Although the Beagle has yet to make contact with planet Earth, scientists from around the world continue to hope for a holiday gift from outer space.
