Check out this picture taken from the Huygens lander during its descent yesterday, this is the best one so far:

This is one of the coolest things my eyes have ever seen. It's taken from an altitude of 5 miles, and it appears to clearly show the alien shoreline of some immense body of liquid (ocean?) on Titan. Unbe-freakin-leivable.
