    Talking We are there!

    http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/index.html

    We arrived at Titan! So far ( almost ) verything went well and the linke above gives you the first images of the Saturn moon's surface. Amazing, really amazing! There are canyons and even a coast! Well, enjoy!

    Hey this looks very promising, thanks for the link.

    Although I must have missed all the news on this because I didn't think it was due to reach Titan for some time yet

    Cool, though there's not much to go on yet, they will have to start analysing the images.. might look nice, but then so is mars.. till you realise the atmoshpere is thin and caustic and it's 50 below

    It's a good first step... really weird how much some of that looks like coastline... and those channels, how were those carved? If not water, what? Liquid methane?

    Now we need Titan Rovers!

    This is really neat; Cassini-Huygens has really been a great mission.
