First images from Titan
14 January 2005
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 what could be ice blocks strewn around. The size and distance of the blocks will be determined when the image is properly processed.
