On January 14, 2005 just over 20 years ago today, the Huygens probe touched down on the organic-rich surface of Saturn's moon Titan.
Here is the scene from Titan's surface.
https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA07232Scientists (I'm one of those) have been analyzing this image and the other descent images from the probe for 2 decades. What have we learned from the probe images about the surface of enigmatic moon?
