    Titan's Surface from 8 km Altitude

    Date: 15 Jan 2005
    Satellite: Huygens
    Depicts: Composite of DISR images of Titan's surface during descent
    Copyright: ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

    This composite was produced from images returned 14 January 2005, by ESA's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows the boundary between the lighter-coloured uplifted terrain, marked with what appear to be drainage channels, and darker lower areas.

    These images were taken from an altitude of about 8 kilometres with a resolution of about 20 metres per pixel.
