Nasa TV will be starting coverage in about 3 mins - but I'm watching multiple TV channels to see if any carry coverage - and will post any news thru the day as it happens

Here is an alternate placement for the Huygens probe based on a Tall-o-Vision horizon match with the DISR mosaic (I rotated the DISR image so that S is at top) (Annotated features lined up with colored arrows):
It places the landing spot a few 10's of meters to the E. The darker bumps on the horizon line up with the brighter nodes in the DISR mosaic. But the distance between the two bright lines (estimated in the text at 5 m) appears too large with this lineup. (Of the two, I kinda prefer the first placement with the horizon line being part of the poorly resolved area in the "paramecium" feature) -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
