Titan Touchdown: Huygens Descent Movie

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

What would it look like to land on Saturn's moon Titan? The European Space Agency's Huygens probe set down in 2005, and this time-lapse video shows its descent. Huygens separated from the Cassini spacecraft and plummeted for two hours, recording images of Titan's opaque atmosphere before reaching the surface.
