Today has been a resounding success for the Huygens probe!

A successful landing on the surface of Titan, with data being sent back that is far in excess of that predicted.

The mission would have been considered a success, if only 3 minuets of data where received from the surface of Titan, however it now seems that we will have approximately seventy (70) minuets of data from the surface.

Three photographs have already been released, including one taken of the surface of Titan. Estimates being that upwards of 300 photographs have been taken. No doubt we are in for a visual & data rich feast, in the coming days, months & years, deriving from this mission.
