Cassini Probe Does Titan Flyby 115
EccentricAnomaly writes "Today, Cassini had its first close encounter with Titan around 8:30AM PDT. Data from the flyby will start coming down around 6:30PM PDT, and you can watch the pictures live on NASA TV. If you want higher resolution or just to stare at one picture for a while, the raw images will be put on the web right away, with pretty press images to follow the next day. And if you want to know about the observations planned for the flyby, you can read this PDF or watch this animation."

Here is a link to a CNN story [cnn.com] that also has a nice video animation link of the event.
Can't wait until Virgin Galactic offers rides out there! :)

No, the central government of Titan have contingency plans to reassure the Titanian public that anything they see is merely a weather balloon, a stray asteroid or a reflection of Venus.
