Built by the European Space Agency (ESA), the 705-pound (320-kilogram) Huygens probe landed on Titan between 7:45-7:46 a.m. EST (1245-1246 GMT) and delivered the scientific goods researchers were ...

The team also suggested that alien life could be present within the natural satellite's ocean. However, the results posed ...

See amazing photos from the historic Jan. 14, 2005 landing of Europe's Huygens probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. ESA's Huygens probe was delivered to Titan by NASA's Cassini.

This is one of the first raw, or unprocessed, images from the European Space Agency's Huygens probe as it descended to Saturn's moon Titan January 14, 2005 and released January 14, 2005. It was ...

On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe, a joint space mission between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency, landed on the surface of Titan, the largest moon of the ...

The Huygens probe became — and thus far remains — the most distant human-made landing craft when it touched down on Titan’s surface in 2005.

Huygens finally cleared Titan’s dense haze layers at an altitude of 19 miles (30 kilometers) — much lower than expected. Once through the haze, the probe’s Descent Imager-Spectral Radiometer ...

The international Cassini spacecraft launched a probe Friday on a three-week free-fall toward Saturn’s mysterious moon Titan, where it will plunge into the hazy atmosphere and descend by ...

The Frisbee-shaped Huygens probe successfully separated from the Cassini spacecraft Friday and began a risky 2.5-million-mile journey to the surface of Saturn's bizarre, smog-choked moon Titan.

The prospect of the Huygens probe landing on a hard, soft or liquid surface when it lands on Titan on Friday still remain following further analysis of data taken during the Cassini mother ship's ...

On Friday, the Cassini spacecraft’s Huygens probe is scheduled to descend into the atmosphere of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Data from Huygens may offer clues about how life began on earth.

The surface of Saturn's huge moon Titan has the consistency of soft, wet sand with a fragile crust on top, a new analysis of a nearly eight-year-old space probe landing suggests.Researchers ...
