seems it will take 1 year at least to see if there was any liquid methane somewhere

some stuff about this is very odd...i have read that there would be any fluid where the hyugens landed, not long ago..maybe 10 years ago
could this be the result of stationary changes? i mean titan relative position to the sun?
maybe only in summer the methane becomes liquid and starts to rain
that would be beautifull to watch
its so sad the hyugens didnt catched that

The rules of the trade, as with Hubble data and all other NASA projects, state that there is a one year lag before the data needs to be made public give the people that invested the time and money into the science to have first crack at findings.
