90 kilometers above the surface of Titan An artist's conception of Huygens' descent. The blue color of the sky slowly fades with decreasing distance to the surface, and is replaced by a brownish tint. At this altitude Huygens is still above the layer of complex organic condensate haze, which prevents a clear view down to the surface. ESA / NASA / JPL / University of Arizona / René Pascal
