Huygens lands on Titan

Huygens and TitanAbout seven years ago ESA's Huygens probe, together with Cassini spacecraft, started its voyage towards planet Saturn. Two days ago Huygens successfully landed on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. This is the first landing of a man-made probe on a world in the outer Solar System. Images of the surface show ice blocks scattered around and drainage channels leading to a shoreline. You can view images here and here.
