See amazing photos from the historic Jan. 14, 2005 landing of Europe's Huygens probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. ESA's Huygens probe was delivered to Titan by NASA's Cassini.

After a long and circuitous route, the Huygens probe successfully landed on Saturn's moon Titan. Ground based receivers were able to detect Huygens' carrier signal during descent while the the ...

One picture, taken about 10 miles above the surface as the Huygens spacecraft descended by parachute to a safe landing showed snaking, dark lines cut into the light-colored surface.

The images were taken by the Huygens probe, which reached the surface of Titan on Friday morning after being launched from the Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn.

A pale orange landscape topped by a thin crust appears in images beamed back 900 million miles by the Titan probe. Instruments picked up a low, rushing sound, possibly indicating winds.

Why it's so special: This picture was taken by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its historic parachute descent onto Titan's surface on Jan. 14, 2005.

Despite real though faint hopes, ground-based astronomers failed to see any sign of the Huygens probe's plunge into Titan's atmosphere on Friday, Jan. 14, but they did obtain some near-infrared ...

After a seven-year trip through outer space, the Huygens space probe successfully completed the last leg of its epic voyage to Titan on Friday, releasing initial black and white images that ...

Huygens scientists assembled this panoramic view of Titan from images taken 5 miles (8 km) up as the probe desended to the surface. This view, which shows terrain behind Huygens, shows a boundary ...

Dramatic images commemorate first spacecraft to land on a moon of the outer solar system. Huygens probe parachuted to icy surface of Saturn's moon Titan 10 year ago.
