Titan Disguised
Explanation:
Will the Huygens probe land or splash down?
In the next few days, the
Cassini spacecraft
currently orbiting
Saturn
will release a
probe
that will descend toward
Saturn's largest moon in mid-January.
That moon,
Titan
,
has a surface normally hidden from view by thick
methane
cloud decks
.
What the
car-sized flying-saucer
-shaped
probe
will find is
unknown
.
Once reaching the surface,
Huygens
may survive for as long as 150 minutes and
take as many as 1,100 images.
These images will be beamed up to the passing
Cassini mothership
for subsequent transmission to a
waiting Earth
.
The Huygens probe is
depicted above
entering Titan's atmosphere and deploying its
parachute
.
Uncovering the most mysterious moon in the
Solar System
may reveal a surface so strange that
images
of it may not be immediately understood.
Discussion consensus
: Australian
strange streak
is plausibly just a
flying insect.
