Three Kilometers Above Titan
The Huygens probe captured images as it descended toward Saturn's moon Titan in January. Released by the Cassini spacecraft, the probe peered through dense clouds. It took images of the approaching surface and from the surface itself. Many of these images have been digitally merged into this perspective from 3,000 meters high.
We cannot put this date's photograph on paper at poster size. We can print the nearest public archive plate to your date instead.
Prints are coming soon. The card is free to save and share in the meantime.
