We humans often desire more than what is given to us. I understand that, I feel it myself quite often. But as regards the Huygens images, let's pause and consider what really has been accomplished.<br /><br />As far as I know, The panoramic images we have from Huygens are the <b>first ever</b> taken in the solar system (besides on Earth). As such, by definition, they are <b>the best ever</b> bird's-eye panoramic shots taken of a distant world. This is not just empty praise based on logic. I really do find them fantastic. Given the challenge of taking them at such a distance and under such extremely difficult conditions they are all the more amazing.<br /><br />I'm no planetary image historian, so it may be easy for someone to prove me wrong. If there are panoramic images out there, taken at altitude, as if from an airplane, from anywhere other than Earth (or Titan!), I'd like to see them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
