Exibido em:: Fev 06, 2005

Having hitched a ride on the Cassini spacecraft, the Huygens lander touched down on Saturn's moon Titan on 14 January 2005. On its way to the surface, radar images revealed seas of liquid methane and ethane. Chris visited ESA's headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany, to witness the arrival of the first results, while Patrick marvelled at the incredible images of Titan's shores, rivers and lakes that look remarkably like those on Earth.
