This set of images shows what might be hardware from the Soviet
Union's 1971 Mars 3 lander, seen in a pair of images from

enthusiasts poring through photos from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
have spotted what looks like the remains of the Soviet Mars 3
lander that arrived at the Red Planet in 1971.The Soviet Union lander
was the first spacecraft to survive a Mars landing long enough to
transmit data back to Earth. However, after transmitting for just 14.5 seconds
after landing on Dec. 2, 1971, Mars 3 went dark for unknown
reasons.Now a group of Russian Mars fans, who track the progress of
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity online, may have found the lander after all
these years. [Dead Spacecraft on Mars: A Countdown]The citizen enthusiasts,
led by Vitali Egorov of St. Petersburg, Russia, undertook a crowdsourcing
effort to search for the vehicle in photos of the projected landing
site from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which has been circling
Mars since 2006. MRO launched toward the Red Planet in 2005 and
is NASA's youngest and most powerful orbiter to study Mars from above.In
an image from 2007, they found features that resemble the Mars 3
lander, along with its parachute, heat shield, and terminal retrorocket.
The features are the right size and shape for the equipment, and

April 2013: This photo provided by Sotheby's and taken in New York
shows what they describe as the worlds most valuable book, the Bay
Psalm Book, which is the first book ever printed in what is
now the United States.APNEW YORK A tiny hymnal from 1640 believed
to be the first book ever printed in what is now the
United States is going up for auction, and it could sell for
as much as $30 million.Only 11 copies of the Bay Psalm Book
survive in varying degrees of completeness. Members of Boston's Old South
Church have authorized the sale of one of its two copies at
Sotheby's Nov. 26."It's a spectacular book, arguably one of the most important
books in this nation's history," said the Rev. Nancy Taylor, senior minister
and CEO of the church, which was established in 1669. Samuel Adams
was a member and Benjamin Franklin was baptized there.At one time, the
church owned five copies of the 6-by-5-inch hymnal. One is now at
the Library of Congress, another at Yale University and a third at
Brown University.Taylor says the church voted to sell one of its two
remaining copies-- both in "excellent condition" -- to increase its grants,
ministries and "strengthen our voice in general as a progressive Christian
church."The book was published in Cambridge, Mass., by the Puritan leaders
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. It came just 20 years after the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.The hymnal was supposed to be a faithful translation
into English of the o
