The only remaining question now is who will be the first to Photoshop a Star Wars character on Titan?

European Craft Lands on Strange Terrain of Saturn Moon

European spacecraft plunged through the murky atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan today and successfully came to rest on a bizarre landscape of mystery never before explored.

Astronomers expressed joy at achieving the first landing on another planet's moon, particularly Titan, the only moon in the solar system with a substantial atmosphere.

The first picture from the Huygens spacecraft did nothing to undermine the reputation of Titan as a strange and otherworldly place. The picture showed terrain of what appeared to be deep channels leading to the shoreline of a dark, flat surface, possibly one of Titan's hypothesized lakes of liquid methane.


Space...the final frontier....
