SKY & SPACE Magazine has indeed been on hold for this issue -due to the expected Huygens landing.
As we were only a week or two away from print we thought it best to hold back and hit the news-stands with the very latest info, rather than wait 2 months and then just reprint what everyone else had already done (logical)... so guys and gals, fingers crossed for some good news from Titan. I think they're gonna find 'something' there!
I believe, after rapping this over with the 'Starman' Paul Floyd today, that Huygens is due to enter the atmosphere on Friday at 9.13pm NSW time (corrected for daylight saving) then land at approx. 11.31pm (+/- 15 mins) and start sending back data via relay at 2.07am on the 15th.
