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

Five years... cripes... If I remember correctly, I was giving an Outreach talk in a junior school at the time of the landing, a "Tour of the Solar System", and when it came to Saturn I showed the classic old Voyager pic and told the class "By the time you go home we'll have pictures of this world's surface"... After the talk I rushed back to my mother's house, just a stone's throw from the school (as the little *******s proved more than once!), to go online and see the pics. That really was something, seeing the surface of a world I'd seen countless hundreds, maybe even thousands of times, through my small telescope. Those Huygens images turned a point of light into a real world for me. Next time that will happen will be when NH reaches Pluto...

Five years... cripes... Yep, half a decade my friend... I also remember that special day...I went rushing home to see the images but knowing that I wouldn't see them as they reach the internet I saw this deserted public internet outpost and there I stand, seing a whole new world unveiling before our eyes. What a night! -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
