All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again   Ecclesiastes 1:7

Titanic endeavour

Huygens has landed on Titan. It has transmitted pictures and enormous amounts of data, most linked here.

Pictures here.

Many scientists have devoted their life's work to getting Huygens to Titan. They knew that it could have been burned away on re-entry but they have been rewarded by the views we now have (which will take years for other scientists to interpret) of another world.

A brilliant triumph for the ESA. Look at the horizons we open up when we work together!
