Huygens: Titan Descent Movie
This time-lapse video shows what it looked like to land on Saturn's moon Titan. The European Space Agency's Huygens probe descended onto Titan in 2005. Huygens separated from the Cassini spacecraft and plummeted for two hours, recording the moon's opaque atmosphere. The images were then compiled into this descent movie.
