Huygens Images Titan's Surface
After a seven-year journey with the Cassini spacecraft, the Huygens probe landed on Saturn's moon Titan. These are two of the first images it recorded, one from 16 kilometers up and another from the surface. The surface view shows rock-like objects, which are likely frozen water and hydrocarbons.
