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

Zooming in and comparing the HSL with the ancient city of Assos (across the strait from Lesbos Island):
(Right image is centered on the middle of the strait between the Biga Peninsula, Turkey, and Lesbos Island, Greece) Zooming into the Biga Pensinsula side of the straight and the ancient village of Assos (Wikipedia: Assos). Assos is at the crossroads at lower center. The port has a small marina. Assos was founded in 1000 BC by Aeolian colonists from Lesbos. Aristotle had an academy here. Closer in, the marina structure is about the same size and shape as the "castle" in the Huygens DISR images: Even closer, fishing boats can clearly be identified in the Marina of Assos. On the road at lower left, cars can be seen. The Huygens probe was about 1 m across, and thus would not be easily identifiable at even this close scale: -Mike -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
