Fact Sheet
Titan, Ho!
This artist's concept shows the Huygens probe (gold disk at left) heading toward Saturn's moon Titan after its successful Christmas Eve release from the Cassini spacecraft. The probe will arrive at Titan on January 14. It will parachute through the moon's thick atmosphere for about two and a half hours, snapping more than a thousand images and taking thousands of readings of atmospheric conditions.
