Thanks for the post Lindon, it was good to be reminded about this amazing undertaking. Timely also as the mission ends later this year.
You inspired me to do a search about Huygens and I came across this inspiring YouTube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KU9m6MqeXc
Stunning to be reminded that Cassini went into orbit around Saturn in 2004!

Yeah pretty amazing!

Definitely worth keeping an eye on the latest raw images too as there are sure to be plenty of spectacular images coming in up until the EOM - not that it hasn't been producing awesome images for the last decade and a bit anyway... ;)
