194 Researchers will spend the next several months analyzing the data and devising theories to explain the observations. "Titan is living up to our expectations," says Jonathan I. Lunine, a University of Ari- zona scientist on the Cassini-Huygens team. "It's as interesting as we'd hoped it would be." Tobias C. Owen, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, warns that theorists must be careful about generalizing the results from a single landing site; it may not be possible, for example, to estimate the frequency of methane rainfall on Titan or the total amount of liquid methane on the surface. But continuing observations by the Cassini orbiter, which scanned Titan's surface near the landing site in a flyby in February, may help investigators make sense of Huygens's remarkable findings.
