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.

The Huygens probe sent its final images while descending through Titan’s hazy atmosphere before it was destroyed about 40 minutes after landing in the frigid methane-soaked terrain. Follow @spaceeves #Titan #CassiniHuygens #Saturn #SpaceExploration | SpaceEve
