When ESA’s Huygens probe plunges into the atmosphere of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, on 14 January 2005, telescopes on Earth will be watching the remote world. Observations of Titan from Earth will ...

University of Arizona scientists, working on one of the most stunning robotic space missions ever attempted, head for Germany next week. Their experiments ride on the Huygens probe to Saturn’s giant ...

Therefore, when the Cassini-Huygens probe was sent to explore the Saturnian system, one of its primary missions was probing the toxic atmosphere of this bizarre moon. Huygens wound up separating from ...

Scientists have produced an audio soundbite that captures what the Cassini orbiter heard from Huygens as the probe descended on Titan on Jan. 14. The sounds may not be music to everyone's ears, ...

Using a global network of radio telescopes, scientists have measured the speed of the winds faced by Huygens during its descent through the atmosphere of Titan. This measurement could not be done from ...

This composite was produced from images returned yesterday, 14 January 2005, by ESA’s Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows a full 360-degree view around Huygens. The ...

ESA engineers have determined why the space agency's Huygens probe suddenly began spinning the wrong way 15 years ago as it descended to the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The first ...

NASA has released a video showing a simulation of the Huygens probe's descent and landing on Saturn's moon, Titan. This probe's landing is notable as the most distant landing to ever take place on ...

European spaceflight controllers are now making their final communications with the Huygens probe, soon to be deployed on the last leg of its journey to Titan. Once it separates from the Cassini ...

University of Arizona scientists, working on one of the most stunning robotic space missions ever attempted, head for Germany next week. Their experiments ride on the Huygens probe to Saturn's giant ...

The probe separated from the Cassini spacecraft early Saturday, Dec. 25, 2004, central European time (or about 8:30 p.m. Dec. 24, Arizona time). Huygens is now on its 14,000 mile-per-hour, 20-day ...
