    Solid landing?

    Copyright: ESA

    Key phases in Huygens' descent sequence (beginning at top left). The Cassini spacecraft will release Huygens for entry and descent through Titan's atmosphere. In the centre, the Probe descends through the clouds under the stabiliser parachute. On the right, the Probe is shown just after surface impact.
