WELCOME TO TITAN: I know you guys can't get enough of all my nerdy journal entries about the space program and whatnot, so here're three raw images taken by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe after it landed on Saturn's moon Titan around 4 AM this morning (Pacific Standard Time). Huygens was released from the Cassini spacecraft on Dec. 24 after a 7-year journey through space. I'll post up more Titan pics as they get released, and yes... I will have an entry on the space shuttle's return to flight when it takes place this May or June. To read up on Huygen's success, go to MSNBC.com, CNN.com, SPACE.com, NASA.gov or the European Space Agency's website.
EDIT: Pics added... The first colored image from Titan's surface and much more. Well, not really. I only included two more photos/mosaics along with this one.
