- Only one spacecraft has ever returned real photographs from the surface of Titan, Saturn's mysterious gas-covered moon. Below its clouds, a frigid surface is hidden, where liquid flows across its landscape. But this is not water as we know it, instead, liquid methane creates vast seas, lakes and rivers. The European Space Agency's, Huygens probe is the only spacecraft to ever land on Titan, and what it observed is truly incredible. Here is the journey as it was seen by Huygens.

The surface of everything we land on look like New Mexico.
Dead and no hope?
Well, at least New Mexico is located in a planet with comfortable temperature for human life. Or you would simply die because of such high temperatures in Arizona 🤠🤙
That means New Mexico is the normal part of our planet. All the plants and oceans are the weird parts by the standards of most planets.
@@SimonClarkstone - Yup, as far as we know we have a magnificent oddity of a planet. It is a seemingly rare and precious thing and we should treat it as such.
I'd say everything we land on looks more like the Atacama desert in South America. It's the only location on our planet that is similar to our planetary neighbors, minus the micro- meteorites and high levels of radiation.
What has always tripped me out is, this stuff just exists. All the time. While you're at work. It's still there. While you're taking a crap, it's also still there. Blows my mind.
Thinking about the large scale of everything can also feel creepy. There's a free computer program called Celestia that let's you navigate around our solar system in an accurate scale simulation, and I almost found it nauseating the first time to realize just how big and far away Jupiter really is. Then the nearest star is not so near even at lightspeed. I had this knowledge already, but it's not the same as experiencing it in a simulator.
@Frost look up ingo swan ,we are suppose to use our out of body experiences to go where our body can't, it's called transentience. Which is why people on psychedelics see things because it allows us temporary psychic abilities without the need to train.
I saw something about distances. The Pleiades for instance, when you see them you’re seeing the light from 400 yrs ago.
Schroedinger's cat stuff there
while your geting a blowie its still there :O
Real Footage of a world millions of miles away. Absolutely breathtaking to be alive in the future.
No. Only a million centimeters behind the Colorado river next to the space shuttle. 😂
And more proof that we are never getting off this rock.
In fact its average distance is over billion kilometers.😅
a world none of us will get to see in our lifetimes, insane
Looks like Greenland with a yellow filter on it
Just the thought of this is breathtaking. Anything that reveals the wonders of our universe is astonishing.
For real ! Made me tear up a bit
yea it’s gotta be the thought of it..bc the sight of that blurry ass photo ain’t taking no one breath away 😂

You have to admit that living in an age where pictures of other celestial bodies are available is quite interesting.

The fact Im seeing this just before going to bed blows my mind... This would shatter the mind of someone from the 1700s lol and we're all just casually scrolling.
Being human is wild - I hope you all find the strength to be kind and enjoy life
If you went back in time to the 1700s and showed them that and told them what it is, they’d kill you for blasphemy
@@davsaltego yup lol
And George Washington never knew dinosaurs existed due to him dieing before it was discovered
@@davsaltegoNo, that happened in the medieval period, during the time when the church had very, very strong influence on every aspect of life. By the 18th century, "blasphemy" stopped being a reason for killing science.
And Ben Franklin discovered electricity with a key and a kite 🪁
🤦🏾♂️No true at all ,
Humans since the very 1st one have known about stars and planets and all our universe !! it’s written in
The Bible, it’s shown in archaeology, it’s evidence in the museums in the Middle East, y’all just ain’t been studying ….
Just listening to history be told isn’t good enough
A place so cold and desolate that water is always solid, and so the sand is made of ice rather than stone. Very awesome, it’s almost unimaginable how inhospitable other planets are.
Apparently you've never visited los Angeles.

Inhospitable…to humans. If aliens exist, maybe to them planet Earth is inhospitable. Ya never know.

Extraordinary human achievement.
Would be nice to see the skies and Saturn from Titan's surface too. :)
you know what
as an active space follower.
i will be excited when something destroys this INTENTIONALLY. And nasa suddenly stops its live stream.
We couldn't unless we removed all the clouds and atmosphere from the planet.
Can we stop and just appreciate the fact that we are able to see the surface of another celestial body.
Yeah! There is another video where we can hear the audio from Venus's surface -- recorded by a Russian spacecraft that landed on Venus.
Sure must be true lol
@@essene3695Firmament?
@@essene3695 oh you’re one of those. Enjoy your life worrying about things that don’t matter.
Yes
To get those images was incredibly difficult, the lander was whipping around in circles instead of descending gently, the atmosphere was different than the parachutes had been designed for, and some programming artist genius rendered those pictures out of the mass of confused data.
Just like to get all the other Space images in the arts department From an image that looks like a 1980s television with no signal! 😆
So, the majority percentage is artificial.
You mean the digital animation? You mean the movie studio production?
So more cartoons again
No not art. No not studio production. No not cartoons.
Skewed pictures that have been unskewed to reveal the actual landscape
A glimpse onto another world always astounds me
There's also some real time audio captured as the probe descended on Titan. Magnificent.
Awesome footage.
Somebody send NASA an 8k camera...
Yeah, because sending photos from Saturn's moons is definitely the same as sending photos from your phone to someone else on earth...
@@jimmypee8404
Have you seen the crystal clear photos of Pluto that was sent from New Horizons from 3 billion miles away? You don't quite know what you're talking about, my guy.
@@dogwoodfan777 You realize those pictures were not crystal clear, but were altered, and updated by an artist right?
You don't know what you're talking about my guy.
There's a reason why NASA hires hundreds of top end artists, and digital artists.. stop and think about that for a second.
@@dogwoodfan777consider when the images were taken. Maybe he's not the one who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Dude, those images are from 18 years ago. And the probe launched in 1997, so the tech would have been even older than that accounting for R&D and build time etc.
Bank security cameras are still no match for this
That and some others things mess with my logic
@@monkeyearcheese420 The epic 480p on this first pic in 2023 is so epic I think I may cry!
Isn’t that odd? We have cameras on our phones a thousand times better. Yet our banks looks worse than WWI footage.🤔
It's done on purpose to create imbiguity.... because in reality ni rocket ever escaped GOD'S firmament...
I'm muslim btw,not Christian...
These anti Christ agencies are created for the purpose of taking people away from God
@@Webedunn Those cameras are analog cameras. The quality isn't as good, but there are some advantages to using them.
Honestly...what time to be alive and see this, past few years haven't been wonderful but science always finds and gives better reasons to remember life isn't as small as we make it. We're still exploring.
i just i wish born 500 years from now to witness breath taking views on planets and moons the way space aviation technology is going to improve
Looks like a landing at LAX in the late 80s!
Oh So True!
😂😂
L.A. Smog! 🙄
I love how in the same day I can see a video like this and also talk to a flat earther
It give an insight to the Bazaar nature of human beings don't it 😅
As long as you're aware that even nasa people say we cant get through the van allen belt.
@@SuperCoopdoggthe same “nasa people” that sent the Apollo 8 crew through the van Allen belt?
@@Alex-os4pn exactly my point. They cant get their story straight. Im not the one who said it. They did. Just like they cant decide on whether or not you can see stars once you leave earths atmosphere. There are many more examples of them shooting themselves in the foot. On top of that, when has it ever been wise to trust the government to give you the truth? Nasa was govt sponsored
@@SuperCoopdogg the rings made of radiation that can be blocked by using metal, because radiation isn't a magic thing that evaporates anything that it touches ?
Imagine we flew like that into a planet and a city emerged under those clouds ...wow
We’d be stunned.
Imagine something flying in to our planet and staying viewable for days on end till it just disappears above the clouds
@@JustinLHopkins nope we’d never see the light of day of that footage. Would be immediately become classified
A starbucks just sitting there.
Image there was a McDonald’s.
Why do the photos from the stratosphere look better then the upclose ones?
The camera was designed for longer ranges. They didn’t expect it to actually land safely and still be able to take pictures.
Why are the close ups on your phone camera better than long distance?
@@OdinzEinherjar I feel like this should be obvious, but because they're made for closer ranges and not meant to be taking pictures from miles away
They aren't pictures, they're "images created from those pictures."
Every body we land on looks like Arizona, so it's not exciting. It's dull at best.
Everytime i tried to take a pic of something close to me with my camera phone, its harder to get focus and tend to ended up blurred.
However it gets better picture for something quite far.
It’s amazing that they can take pretty decent pictures of a moon literally millions of miles away but aren’t able to take a non blurry photo of a big foot,UFO,or any supernatural entity despite the technology and money at their disposal!
When an UFO can be identified it stops being an UFO, things like the german Komet or the amercan Falcon jet were once UFOs to the general public.
That's because Jupiter's moon is real
@@rogerthomas169 bro thats Saturn's moon
@@saturnball_cz😂
They can they just don’t show us the good pictures.
I wish they would send a rover to these moons. Who else is bored of Mars?
Incredible, never thought I’d see anything close to Titan.
What a time to be alive ! :)
@@inkedsights4929you’re right. But it’s a shame this happened in 2005 and most people are unaware.

"soft wet sands made of ice grains"
UM SNOW?
Ice grains, not snow flakes.
@@russelldevaney7001 soft wet ice here on earth is called snow. But I guess you didn't go to school.
It’s amazing it took over 2 hours to descend through the atmosphere to the surface.
this nearly brought tears of joy to my eyes!!! we get to see the surfaces of other celestial bodies!!
On a side note, Christiaan Huygens, whom this spacecraft is named after, was an amazing human. And his father Constantijn was just as amazing.
Hi, I worked at the clean room that the Huygens space probe was built. Right before final send off, I snuck some grass clippings into a little crevice in it's landing gear. My hope is that the grass takes root and fast tracks the terra-forming we'll eventually do on Titan. Your welcome people.
@@bvbxiong5791😂
@@bvbxiong5791 Aren't there laws against contaminating other planets with invasive species/causing panspermia? Cmiiw.
@@mistergeorge667Matter of fact, on that same mission the spacecraft that carried huygens went kamikaze on saturn atmosphere to not contaminate Europa or other moon.
I don't know if we really appreciate how crazy it is that we literally have photos of the surface of alien worlds. It's usually just artists rendering
Its a moon but yeah its definitely awesome!!
Joe Biden is the only real Alien that smells people
We have had photos from the surface of the moon and Mars for decades
Hell yeah! Titan is a bad ass name for a planetary moon
Since it's also the biggest moon in our solar system
Welcome to the 17th century
As opposed to a solar moon?
@@subarnamishra9181actually Titan isthe second largest moon in our solar system. The largest is Ganymede, which is just a little larger than Titan.
@glenMarkoCallisto is smaller than mercury, but 99% the size. its the 3rd largest

("Head" is slang for the restroom for those that don't know.)
Earth is the most beautiful thing we’ve found so far
True.
No shit
truly
Absolutely awesome. Can't wait for the next lander/ drone
To understand how incredible this is, it's many many many times further away than Mars or the moon. They're like going next door, and this is a city hallway across your home state. It's an entirely different class of landing and it's incredible
And it was EMPTY SPACE when they launched. That's the amazing part. They calculated exactly where to be and when...before they left!
Its also just a light in the firmament that someone named Saturn 🦄
@Darren Murphy It was the first thing I saw when I first looked through a cheap telescope.
I was hooked.
@Darren Murphy so they gave us video of saturns moon landing millions miles away, but we don’t have footage of the moon which is only a few hours from earths orbit? Make sense..
@@airflowfpv7791 Flat earthers are everywhere on YT now. I’m so glad they’re censoring them. Never thought I’d say that but it’s gotten ridiculous.

You could film the Nevada desert, call it Saturn and we’d never know any better.
Considering saturn is a gas giant some of us probably would be able to tell

I love space and unexplored areas... I wished we could get an idea about our own ocean
Same
We do now. It’s not 1900’s anymore
We do. Anytime you hear that a certain percentage hasn't been explored, they mean physically. We don't need to physically explore the vast majority of the ocean because something like 70% of it is pure desert.
@@SPCv4
Thats really cool if you think about that. An underwater desert. Awesome shit there.
@@SPCv4still 80% of ocean unexplored
I can see my house from here!
Notice, that it's completely flat like our earth! 👀

With all of the hydrocarbons on Titan, we may eventually be able to construct a permanent base. It's extremely cold there, however.
Most of the places we think life could exist/survive in the solar system are very cold lol
@@twelved4983 Nah Titan is another beast entirely. It's colder than it should be because of its atmosphere blocking sunlight and the wind stripping the air of heat. Shits like -300 C
@@SPCv4 it can‘t get colder than -273 Degree
The average temperature is around 90 kelvin which is -182C or -296F
@@SPCv4 no it's -179 degrees Celsius. But you may have mixed up fahrenheit and Celsius. It's -290 degrees Fahrenheit on Titan.
Mean while a local Titan is explaining to the Titan tribes he seen an flying object from aliens and no one believes him. 😂
It’s so amazing that with our technology today we can sit on one planet and see pictures of another!
If we lived 100 years ago and told someone that we could do that, we probably would get tried for witchcraft!
I watched this footage shortly after it was first released.
It is amazing what we can accomplish when working together for a common goal.
It is too bad that we can not apply this same energy towards living peacefully with our fellow human beings.
Shouldve live streamed it on twitch damn
Impossible due to how long a transmission back to earth would take. Maybe in the near future we might be able to see it live and maybe even more.

@@koloradokiller If original images were published they would have little meaning to the public. So for example an original image from the JWST would be looking at nothing because that telescopes sees images in the infrared only. Thus the images are artificially colored based on the wavelengths. Longer wavelengths are given a red color and shorter wavelengths a blue color. Also applying color to the infrared images researchers see detail that wouldn't be obvious as if was black and white.
These are just out of bounds unfinished areas that we were never supposed to see
This is sensational. A truly magnificent achievement. .

What an awesome day we live in
We're all born way too soon sadly but at least it's better than being before this when the world and information was limited and we used fantasy ideas made up by politicians to control populations.
look at this footage again imagine you made a physical construction on a very large table. Add a few mystical effects and filters and imagine this as a mini scale model. They accomplished this in the 70s with Star Wars. look at this again and assume you’ve been bamboozled.
