Titan in pictures

Have you ever wondered what it must have looked like to be aboard the
Huygens probe as it hurtled towards the surface of Titan -- Saturn's
largest moon -- in January last year? All is now revealed with a highly
realistic new movie of the dramatic descent, released by the European
Space Agency (ESA), NASA and the University of Arizona. The movie shows
the proble's plunge through Titan's thick orange-brown atmosphere
before landing on a soft, sandy riverbed. The film was put together
from data collected by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR)
instrument during the probe's descent, which lasted 147 minutes.

Sam, it made my day! You should just offer a newsletter and escape
from the crap that some respondents post on NGs.
The video I chose to download took some patience to transfer but it
was well worth it.
