   Wow, that is awesome.  The difference in perceptible detail   
   is extraordinary, these images actually make sense intuitively.   
   The presence of clouds in the medium resolution context images   
   is bluntly obvious in the mosaics, for example, as is the   
   detail of the "river" and (assumed) drainage features.   
      
   Excellent work!   
      
      
   P.S.  Call me crazy but it looks to me like Huygens actually   
   landed on the "ocean" (which is probably more like a   
   glacier-ish type feature, I think).  Has anyone yet figured   
   out where in the imagery is the actual landing location of   
   Huygens, if it did indeed return images of its landing site?
