This week I was looking at the APOD titled "Huygens Lands on Titan". About ten years ago the probe Huygens touched down on one of the moons of Saturn. These pictures were taken by the probe during its descent to the planet. Once it had landed the probe delivered data back to Earth for more than an hour. We now know that Titan is a place where there are many organic compounds, lakes, seas, and the possibility of liquid water being present under its surface.
Wow! That planet looks like a desert that wouldn't have any water or organic compounds.
