Huygens DISR panoramic view of Titan “shoreline”

Huygens DISR panoramic view of Titan “shoreline”
Huygens DISR panoramic view of Titan “shoreline” These images were taken from an altitude of about 8 kilometers (about 5 miles) and a resolution of about 20 meters (about 65 feet) per pixel on January 14, 2005, by the European Space Agency's Huygens probe during its successful descent to land on Titan. It shows the boundary between the lighter-colored uplifted terrain, marked with what appear to be drainage channels, and darker lower areas. ESA / NASA / University of Arizona
