Experimental Mars probe may have exploded on impact

A space probe tasked with looking for signs of life on Mars has crash-landed and may have exploded, the European Space Agency has confirmed. The ESA said images taken by a NASA Mars orbiter indicate the missing craft fell to the Red Planet's surface from a height of up to 2.5 miles. The ESA has compared a high resolution photograph of Mars' surface taken after Schiaparelli's descent with one of the same area taken six months earlier.
