The battery was warming itself using the solar panels, so no sun means the battery freezes over, and frozen electronics are never happy campers. Goodbye, my sweet Phoenix. We can only hope you live up to your name and rise from the ashes, so to speak. Man, I am in such a mood for cliches tonight. @McD, they had no way to heat it.

I hope who ever gets there first doesn't try to resurrect it or move it. Just put a glass box over it and a plaque.
