Yet another example of Western know-how.

If they used European designed electronics, then the probe will have a short life. Kinda like trying to keep a Jag, Peugot, or a Fiat running.

I guess it landed on a solid surface, can't wait to see the surface pictures.

Good news. Problem though is that they were aiming for Neptune's moons.

LOL. If they used Lucas, the thing would still be sitting on the pad.

I am such a geek but this is WAY COOL
To: anymouse; KevinDavis; Brett66; RadioAstronomer
Can any of you more learned ones tell me why they think they might find evidence of life - or why they think it might show us how early life on earth was?
Also, I thought some of Jupiter's moons like Europa has atmospheres?
Thanks!

ESA has recieved the data from Huygens and they are now putting it together. Can't wait to see the photos.

Officials were optimistic because Huygens was designed to transmit for at least three minutes after landing before its batteries died and the signal had continued for more than five hours.I wonder what else the designers missed by such a margin.
I'm sure that someone will know what to do with information about Titanic winds. Is it worth it?
...a project of NASA, ESA and the Italian space agency, was launched Oct. 15, 1997, from Cape Canaveral, Fla....
And it's called "A European space probe?"

Huygens is shaped like a wok and covered with a shield to survive the intense heat of entry.I don't know, just struck me as kind of funny.
