Huygens has been released and is now on its way to just west of Manhattan, Titan (my name). We should get images of Huygens tomorrow morning so be sure to check the raw images page. Don't get too excited though, Huygens should only be 11 pixels across. And if the MER heat shield is any test, it may be over exposed. (though the MER heat shield has mirror like surfaces).
