Explore the Saturn System with Cassini-Huygens
The Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe are now exploring the magnificent and mysterious planet Saturn, its emblematic rings and its extended family of at least 33 moons. Together they comprise the most complex and ambitious mission ever sent to another world. There is no doubt that, over the next several years, we will be continually surprised, dumbfounded and delighted with the discoveries they will radio back to us on Earth.
Enthusiast compositions of the Huygens images
While ESA slowly releases images from Huygens, full collections of Huygens imagery have already been processed and refined well beyond anything ESA has done - and you can download them yourself.

Music2Titan
Four pieces of music accompanied the Huygens probe. The main goal of this website is that these pieces of music will arouse the interest of the general public about this adventure and leave a trace of humankind in the unknown.
Titan Imagery
Raw images from Saturn's moon.
The Planetary Society's Huygens Weblog: Bringing you Huygens Mission Events As They Happen!
The HASI-PWA team on Huygens has given The Planetary access to the data from their "microphone," so that we could make some "Sounds from Titan," with a little help from Society friend Greg Delory at Berkeley. Like the pictures I can't tell what they mean yet, but I think I can hear the whoosh of Huygens' descent!

Cassini Huygens- VideoTalk Archive
VideoTalk is an exciting multimedia feature that discusses the questions we hope will be answered by pioneering space exploration. What will the Huygens probe find at the surface of Titan? How did the chemistry of the Universe make life on Earth possible? VideoTalk looks at the Cassini-Huygens voyage of discovery to a distant and intriguing moon.
Destination: Titan
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, truly deserves its name. Larger than the planet Mercury, it has a dense atmosphere filled with photochemical smog that shrouds the moon's surface in mystery. What lies beneath? The only way to be sure is to send a probe through the clouds. The Cassini craft has taken seven years to carry the Huygens probe to Titan. News@nature.com watches as its moment in the spotlight draws near.
