    Huygens View of Titan from Five Altitudes

    Date: 05 May 2006
    Satellite: Huygens
    Depicts: DISR images of Titan taken during the descent
    Copyright: ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

    These images of Titan were taken by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR) on board the Huygens probe, during its descent to Titan's surface on 14 January 2005. The views from the probe, in the four cardinal directions (W, N, E, S), were taken at 5 different altitudes (top to bottom): 150 km, 30 km, 8 km, 1.5 km and 300m.
