Pictures taken by the Huygens space craft as it descended through Titan's atmosphere have been released by the ESA today. One of them shows what looks like a coast with a dark sea beyond, and another shows a flat landscape strewn with rocks.
Scientists have said that over 300 images were captured by Huygens. "The pictures just got better after we passed through the haze," said Marty Tomasko, head of the probe's imaging team. The images will be closely studied by scientists.
Mission scientist Andrew Ball told the BBC, "We may be seeing a coastline, but that does not necessarily mean it's liquid now. It looks like something has flowed at some time to make those channels. But is it something that has solidified?"
