Cassini Huygens Wallpaper
In order to honor today's landing of ESA's Huygens probe on Saturn's moon Titan, I have selected a wallpaper motif from ESA's page which also includes additional news and detailed scientific information. This will be all in front of my eyes as a constant reminder of how small humanity really is.
Titan was discovered on March 23rd 1655 by Christiaan Huygens from The Netherlands. The moon has a diameter of 5150 km and orbits Saturn in 15.95 (Earth) days. It is one of the most mysterious objects in our Solar System. It is the second largest moon and the only one with a thick, methane-rich, nitrogen atmosphere. Experts think that its atmosphere resembles that of a very young Earth.
There is also an interesting artcile about the mission on Wikipedia (naturelich a German link here).
