[extropy-chat] RE: [wta-talk] Cassini latest pictures

[Alfio Puglisi]

Cassini will get much closer to Titan than now. Actually, part of Cassini
(the probe Huygens) will be launched inside Titan's atmosphere and will
send measurements and images via radio link to the main probe. Hopefully,
it will be able to land on the surface (or splash, if there are methane
lakes like someone is speculating), and survive a little.
