Big Findings on Titan?
A co-worker just alerted me that the Huygens probe from the Cassini mission just landed on Titan. The first images back from Titan are producing tears of joy from the European Space Agency team:
The picture is in -- and it has brought tears to those who have worked so hard to make it a reality. It clearly shows river channels and what appears to be the shores of some kinds of sea -- think of Lake Michigan filled with paint thinner -- that is how NASA's Carolyn Porco put it on our air a few moments ago.
I can't believe I am actually blogging about the possibility of finding other forms of life outside of our dear planet earth. This is truly amazing.
The site linked above is a blog updated by Miles O'Brien, so keep checking in for updates. It sounds like we may be in for some treats.
UPDATE:
Here's the picture.
