On this day in 1655, Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, was discovered. 🪐

In 2028, NASA’s #DragonflyMission - led by Johns Hopkins APL with nationwide partner organizations - will launch to explore Titan’s environment and search for signs of life. Learn more: dragonfly.jhuapl.edu

20 years ago, @esa.int's Huygens probe landed on Titan, revealing some of the mysteries of Saturn's largest moon. 🪐 NASA's #DragonflyMission is set to explore Titan’s surface, continuing the legacy of exploration and discovery. 🛰️ dragonfly.jhuapl.edu
Tethys, a moon of Saturn, appears to hover near the A and F rings in this stunning view. The moon, composed mostly of ice, peeks through the Keeler gap, cleared by the tiny moon Daphnis. Captured by the Cassini spacecraft in July 2014, this image highlights the intricate dance of Saturn’s rings and moons. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute) The Huygens probe successfully landed on Saturn's largest moon Titan at about 11:30 UTC on January 14, 2005. The descent lasted two hours and 27 minutes. The probe survived another 72 minutes on the surface of Titan. This was the first - and, so far, the only - landing in the outer solar system. Huygens holds the record as the most distant landing from Earth. (Image credit: ESA - C. Carreau) Huygens returned this image from the surface of Titan. This colored view was processed to add reflection spectra data, and gives a better indication of the actual color of the surface.
