Huygens reaches Titan After a journey of seven years and millions of miles, the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe has touched down on Titan. Huygens hitched a ride to its target aboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Huygens reaches Titan After a journey of seven years and millions of miles, the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe has touched down on Titan. Huygens hitched a ride to its target aboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. After its release from Cassini, the probe snapped stunning images throughout its harrowing descent and landing. Images from the probe were relayed back to Cassini and received on Earth by NASA’s Deep Space Network. The first Huygens images show the Titan terrain from an altitude of six miles. The pictures detail possible erosion channels running across the landscape toward an apparent shoreline. After a soft touchdown in a pool of mud, Huygens captured images of a rocky field littered with frozen chunks of methane. The successful landing of Huygens marks a spectacular conclusion to an ambitious mission. It’s the final step in a journey that could tell us how our own planet’s evolution began.
