   Huygens will, hopefully, soft land (see the Cassini home page regarding the   
   target region). Lets keep fingers crossed that Huygens makes it to the surface   
   in one piece - can't wait to see those images. As for the lack of colour   
   pictures, my understanding is that Cassini was simply travelling too fast   
   during orbit insertion - it couldn't take the necessary 3 images (of the same   
   target) to produce a colour picture. Wait until things settle down, I think the   
   next 4+ years are going to produce some amazing images and science.
