20 years ago today, ESA's Huygens probe gave us jaw-dropping views of the surface of Saturn's hazy moon, Titan, as it became the first probe to land on a world in the outer solar system. Descending through the thick yellow atmosphere for about three hours, it revealed surprisingly Earth-like landforms. ▶️ Extract of video by ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona built from Huygens probe data.

Remember the Titan (Landing): Ten years ago today, Jan. 14, 2005, ESA's Huygens probe touched down on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Take a journey with us. The first minute shows a zoom into images of Titan from our Cassini spacecraft's cameras, while the remainder of the movie depicts the view from Huygens during the last few hours of its historic descent and landing. | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
