streaml1ne Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 "14 January 2005 ESA PR 03-2005. Today, after its seven-year journey through the Solar System on board the Cassini spacecraft, ESA’s Huygens probe has successfully descended through the atmosphere of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, and safely landed on its surface."First image:http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygen...CXM71Y3E_1.htmlI'm still waiting for a pair of eyes and a big fricken claw in one of these pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Can you imagine that place? Hundreds of degrees below zero, seas of gasoline and Saturn looming on the horizon? Absolutely stunning. I wish that there was better image quality with the attached camera, but it is still an amazing endeavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrius Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 *listens to the sounds*Great. All those millions invested, and the countless man-hours wasted only to find out Titan sounds just like a darned Atari 2600.Sorry. Couldn't help it.Are there any more pictures available? I can only see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 You wouldn't think it'd be all that hard to attatch a $200 digicam wrapped in heat shielding to a Million dollar space probe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
