HOUSTON - The missing Beagle 2 may have landed or tumbled into a large undetected Martian crater, possibly destroying the tiny spacecraft or blocking its attempts to communicate with Earth, scientists said Monday.

Great Britain's 73-pound, life-seeking Mars lander has failed to make eight expected calls to Earth. Slowed by a parachute and impact-cushioning airbags, the craft plunged through the thin Martian atmosphere on Christmas Eve.
