The Huygens probe landed successfully today on Titan, sending back some astonishing
images from the surface of the only moon in the Solar System with a significant atmosphere. The top image isn't quite as Earth-like as it seems, however: Titan is believed to have a surface temperature of about -300F (-185 C). If there are lakes or oceans on the surface of Titan, which is what I thought this image was when I first saw it, they are probably liquid methane. No
sirens have yet been spotted.
