The red cross marks the landing site of Huygens

The Huygens Landing Site is a site on Saturn’s moon Titan, that the Huygens probe landed on in 2005.[1]

History[edit]

On January 15, 2005[2], the Huygens probe landed on Saturn’s major moon Titan. Huygens landed in a location near the Adiri region, and lasted 2.5 hours on Titan’s surface, before its parent probe; Cassini, lost contact with the probe. [3]

Location[edit]
