This raw image was returned by the ESA Huygens DISR camera after the probe descended through the atmosphere of Titan. It shows the surface of Titan with ice blocks strewn around. The size and distance of the blocks will be determined when the image is properly processed.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project between NASA, ESA and Italy's ASI space agency.
