Titan Photos and Sounds

ahsile writes "NASA and the ESA have released the first images from Titan. The ESA also has available sounds from the surface." Reader ZZip writes: "Apparently a bunch of enthusiasts has compiled the first mosaics from the raw data delivered by the Huygens probe. Meanwhile space.com has more coverage and pictures from NASA/ESA." Say a silent thank-you to the persistent troubleshooters of the world, without whom none of this would be possible.

Well, if they had ability to upload new codecs/code they could have used JPEG2000, but even so they still could have made their own wavelet codecs, they did spend 3.3billion right. It doesnt matter that its really dark out there, a flash can help or longer exposure too, its not hard to make photos of dark areas if you have 3.3 billion $

Next time they should send 5 probes to land it various locations. Oh and perhaps some more battery power or a wind powered generator or something.
