Amateurs Beat Space Agencies To Titan Pictures

loconet writes "Nature.com is reporting that a group of enthusiastic amateurs managed to process raw images of Titan from the Huygens probe faster that any of the giant space agencies in charge of the mission. Terragen, a freeware program that converts the basic brightness data in aerial pictures into a topographical map, to generate the ground-level vista was used."

The science involved in these images represents the careers of many people. They had a right to publish first. You took that right away from them. Do not expect raw images of important discoveries any more.
