Unscrewing the Inscrutable has been updating progress of the Huygensprobe as it screeches towards the surface of Titan. So far (8:20 am) it still seems to be going well. The first real data will come later this morning. Of course, the really exciting stuff for us bio-freaks will come in a few months.

Correction: 9:52 am: Unscrewing–not Screwing. Insert your foul joke here.
