I'm thinking the atmosphere appears to be fairly transparent because the pictures were taken in infrared. I think in the visible specturm it's just a thick, orange haze.

I'm not particularly interested in any data until the Huygens probe actually enters the atmosphere. THAT'S going to be exciting. Cool! - they quoted my friend Kevin in the article. I am going to have to bug him about the pictures. I was expecting ethane oceans to be apparent from the images.
