    Science Poster - Huygens

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

    This image is a Mercator projection of a Huygens view of Titan, taken at 10 kilometres altitude (in a Mercator projection the cardinal directions are kept intact - they cross at right angles - but surface areas are distorted). The image was taken during the Huygens probe's descent by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR), on 14 January 2005.
