Loads on the ESA website. They were there when you posted. Probably
more to come.

Yes, it's just you! I haven't found another astronomer, nor hardly a
non-astronomer who wasn't interested.

Possibly they would have got bettter pictures if they had sent the
probe to a more picturesque landing site on a better observed world. If
you wanted pretty pictures it should have landed in Bryce Canyon.
That's not what exploration is about, though.
I guess you'll have to go back to watching 'Everyone loves Raymond' or
'Will and Grace' In fact, get your own back on us europeans - keep
them to yourself!
