BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Titan moon holds on to enigma: "Scientists are none the wiser as to what awaits the Huygens space probe on Saturn's moon Titan when it lands, despite a close pass by its mothership.
The Cassini spacecraft will release the piggybacked Huygens probe towards Titan's atmosphere on Christmas Day.
It is thought Huygens could land on an ocean of liquid hydrocarbon, on solid ice, or squelch down on sludge. "
It's like home away from home... someplace Dubya would never be able to pinpoint on a Universe Map.
