SCIENTISTS FIND HUYGENS PROBE LANDING SITE,
RELEASE NEW ANIMATION OF TITAN
From Lori Stiles, UA, University Communications, 520-621-1877


Last week Rizk made a minute-long animation, Titan descent movie, from
images taken during the Huygens probe's two-and-one-half hour
alien-world
plunge. The animation is online at the DISR Website,
http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/DISR/. Rizk created the animation from
Cassini
imaging, radar, and visual and infrared mapping spectrometer data as
well as
DISR data. It traces the actual descent profile that the probe took as
it
swung and spun east down to Titan's surface.


I'm looking forward to seeing it, but is anyone else having problems
downloading it?
It keeps stopping and I have to restart. I'm using Mozilla 1.0.7

It's nearly 300Mb. I downloaded it OK on one machine
using IE6 but got an error trying to play it I think
because it uses the latest version of AVI format than
the media player version I have on that machine.

I haven't had to use a download manager since I got broadband, but I
eventually used Getright to make the process painless.
It plays on Realplayer 10.5, Windows Media Player 10, and BSPlayer 1.36,
if you want a free third party program.
Well worth it.
