Huygens coverage stinks... where the real data is.

So, I've been really really disappointed in the NASA/ESA coverage of the descent of the Huygens probe. We got a few badly processed images and very little text or non-imaging data.

This is likely a sciency version of propriety... that is, they don't want you to have a stream of raw data so that they can publish a packed issue of Science or Nature. However, there is no competition with the data (that is, no one else has the same data and is rushing to analyze it). So what gives? Is there no funding for outreach and education? Why is there no Huygens data blog where researchers give you bits of insight into what they're doing to analyze the mounds of data they have?

Well, good thing that the data is, by default public domain. Amateurs have been processing the data, "Enthusiast compositions of the Huygens images", and stitching together the raw images into their own panoramas that are far, far better than anything released by NASA or ESA yet. Check these puppies out:

UPDATE: Mr. Liekens is upset that some people are inline linking to his images so he's begun to move his images around. I'll disable the links to the larger images since they no longer point anywhere.
