At least in the most recent CVS version of Celestia people may select Huygens and follow its flight until Jan.14. Very impressive to travel along with Huygens right until it dives into Titan's atmosphere!

Of course, the Huygens' support on Cassini is now empty. Also the release of Huygens from Cassini can be seen at the right time in Celestia.
