Good luck Huygens

Loss of comms with Cassini-Huygens will be occurring in the next few hours
as the spacecraft orients itself ready for the Huygens probe release. If all
goes well, NASA are planning to perform post-separation imaging of the probe
to determine its exact trajectory and pictures should be available on 25th
after earth point is re-established. Good luck Huygens...

....and Happy Christmas to all

As you all probably know by now, Huygens has been successfully released!

Merry Christmas (or whatever), everyone.
