The descent of the Huygens probe to the frozen surface of Saturn\'s moon, Titan, in 2005, marks a pinnacle achievement in space exploration - the most distant planetary landing ever made or presently foreseen. The Huygens probe\'s seven-year voyage through space (past Venus, Earth and Jupiter) attached to the Cassini orbiter, its arrival at Saturn and three-week dormant coast to Saturn\'s moon, Titan, culminated in Huygens\' hypersonic entry into Titan\'s atmosphere, 2.5-hour parachute descent, and continued operation for 72 minutes on the surface transmitting date back to Earth via the Cassini orbiter. Saturn has 62 confirmed orbiting moons, but Titan (which is larger than the planet Mercury) was chosen as a has two major components of Earth\'s atmosphere - nitrogen and oxygen - but the oxygen is was thought to be frozen as water ice within the body of the moon. If Titan received more sunlight, its atmosphere might well resemble that of a primitive Earth. The hope is that study of the data gathered about Titan will help us to understand how the Earth evolved, and possibly what led to the evolution of life. Before, you learned. • The motions of planets and other nearby objects are visible from Earth . • Light and other forms of radiation carry information about the universe. Now, you will learn. • How astronauts explore space near Earth . @. AstroBioProf. Associate Professor. Observatory Director. George Mason University. NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador.
