Early raw images from the Cassini-Huygen mission have been released. If you thought the Mars Rover pictures were intriguing (and they are), these will really puzzle you.
"Clearly there is liquid matter flowing on the surface of Titan," said Dr. Martin G. Tomasko of the University of Arizona, an imaging specialist for the mission.
Wow. Liquid?
Color pictures are expected tomorrow.

Posted by: Elayne Riggs at January 15, 2005 01:24 PMYeah, I think that's the explanation of choice at the moment. I agree; that would really have been a tragedy for science. I heard one of the Europeans say he'd been working on this project for 15 years!
