[meteorite-list] OT- Signal aquired from Huygens

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

    First image of Titan's surface shown from ESA via JPL and NASA shows a
dendritic network (a pattern of fluid drainage) running down to what a
appears to be a sea. Image taken at 16,000 meters. Large numbers of images
received (100's).
    Probe continued to send images for a very long time after landing.
Blokes who designed the batteries get a medal; they were only supposed to
last for a few minutes.
    In fact, medals all around!
    Under all that atmospheric blur, complexity! Nothing like a New World!
