Can a spacecraft that touched down on Mars in 1997 help find the lost Polar Lander? Hoping the answer is yes, NASA has aimed a camera orbiting the red planet on the landing site of the Mars Pathfinder. Besides providing the highest resolution images ever of the spot -- the space agency released those images this week -- the photo shoot could help scientists focus the lens on the area where the Mars Polar Lander disappeared.
