footage from NASA satelite "Huygen" landing on Titan (moon of Saturn)

[mysay2u]

They were very lucky not to have landed in the mountains but its too bad they never landed a craft like the rovers on Mars.

[nateextreme0969]

@mysay2u dont worry they are working on it or maybe even the first lake lander is being planned titan mare explorer which i think i would prefer more since we really dont have true data on the lakes on another world probally by 2020 we should have one on titan.

[Ralpymorris]

High concentration of organic materials, why not consider that life is gong to appear in few millions of years if our artifacts don't cause any damage, as patentized on movie Space Oddisey.

[nateextreme0969]

@Ralpymorris no douht but who is to say that another civilization didnt land acouple probes on us at our early stage, fully understand the concerns and its something we need to be careful of but we will probally have humans walking on titan in +100 years whos to say we can pick up our landers and send them bk to earth to be studied and put on display for future generations.

[gamecollect101]

The Huygens spacecraft was built by man.

[noogetful]

Yeah I think I'm with Chris on most of this. Except the liquid oceans aren't water at all- they are some sort of "liquid natural gas", and they would have to be- as the average surface temperature is lower than -300 degrees. Enceladus is the moon of saturn with liquid and frozen water- even geysers.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

Totally fake/

[inewton34]

sounds fake..

[deadlydare]

@inturn23 dude yes we can, I was there about a month ago.

[deadlydare]

Humans CAN live on titan

[xChrisBoulterx]

@inturn23 You're stupid. It has a molten core, and is filled with liquid water. Consider the fact that light from the sun only permeates 900 feet down in Earths oceans, so therefore with your logic in mind, there would be no life beyond that point in the oceans, which we know to be far from the truth. Expand your mind, don't act smart.

[eivissak]

@xChrisBoulterx Shut the fuck up faggot.

[xChrisBoulterx]

@eivissak Shouldn't you be watching monster truck rally videos or something? I think what you are experiencing is the aggravation that comes with not understanding something. This usually results in hostility in stupid people. Before you try to troll somebody, I recommend reminding yourself that nobody loves you and you will die alone, in your own filth.

[eivissak]

@xChrisBoulterx hahaha take your own advise and fuck off the video as obviously on one cares about your opinion. Taking old comments too seriously and crying like a little girl over a comment isn't going to get you anymore attention. Stop hiding behind your momma's computer, acting all tough and smart on here, fucking wimp. This isn't your damn therapy or anything. Stupid whiny piece of Canadian shit. It's not anyone's fault on here you can't get laid.

[xChrisBoulterx]

@eivissak Do not feed the troll

*Places sign in dirt*

[eivissak]

@xChrisBoulterx Yes!!! Of course I'll come to your tea party!! Are you going to be serving cupcakes!?!?!?

[xChrisBoulterx]

@eivissak lol?

[inturn23]

@xChrisBoulterx don't remember what I said or was looking for on here. Find someone else to argue with and get a fucking life faggot.

[xChrisBoulterx]

@inturn23 "Not really. Too far from the sun making it too cold to sustain life."

You said that Titan cannot sustain life because it is too far from the sun, which we have disproved even here on earth, where some insects live deep in the ocean, surviving on merely arsenic, a substance formerly believed to be deadly to all biology. What you said was incredibly close minded, and shows a lack of knowledge on the subject, something that usually causes people to refrain from commenting.

[inturn23]

@xChrisBoulterx Shit, stop posting, dumb ass. I thought I made it clear to you the first time that don't care if you agree. Save you're bitching, whining and moaning for someone else as I'm not going to take any time talking to you about some comment I don't even remember posting. If you're bored or want to blow off some steam, go wank or something. Don't bother re-posting because I won't bother reading it. I'll just delete it as soon as I see it's from you because you don't matter. fuck off

[PrettyHalloweenDress]

@inturn23 LMAO well said. Looks like that dumb ass has too much time on his hands.

[inturn23]

@PrettyHalloweenDress lol the fucktard needs attention

[xChrisBoulterx]

Also, don't bother talking if you don't know what you are talking about. If you make a claim, you better be willing to back it up. Especially on the fucking internet. Are you even of the mental capacity to function properly? Don't answer that...

[PrettyHalloweenDress]

@xChrisBoulterx yup, seriously, dude, nobody gives a dam that you're pissed off at the world. Blame it on your parents, I guess, who perhaps didn't mean to have you, but do everyone else a favor and go cry some place else, please. That's all I've got to say.

[xChrisBoulterx]

@PrettyHalloweenDress I recommend that everybody (more than likely 1 person with ghost accounts) Actually take the time from your mundane existences to actually look up what was said. The first comment I responded to on this video was of somebody immediately denouncing the possibility of life existing on earth. I merely exposed him to something that he was not aware of beforehand. The next comment was that of a troll, and I merely deflected it because it is a waste of time to do anything more.

[Urockett]

@xChrisBoulterx Stop wasting your own time trying to educate the dumb. You're only being as dumb as they are.

[xChrisBoulterx]

@Urockett Agreed.

[sparters]

@xChrisBoulterx deep in the ocean, we don't have insects, but the crustaceans there do survive, Hydrothermal vent communities are able to sustain such vast amounts of life because vent organisms depend on chemosynthetic bacteria for food. The water that comes out of the hydrothermal vent is rich in dissolved minerals and supports chemo-autotrophic bacteria. These bacteria use hydrogen sulfide, a chemical highly toxic to most organisms, to produce organic material through chemosynthesis.

[robinkhaira1]

fake



[Nanotech92]

Its fake, look at the details on the rocks when it lands. 3D

[heyman284]

What is to occur if we find oil on this moon?

[SLYR237]

@heyman284 hate to tell u this but oil came from dead dionosours and there was never life on the moon

[heyman284]

@SLYR237 lol, i know i'm just sayin since its the size of eartch and once upon a time our planet looked like this one.

[chanctonbury63]

@heyman284 Nothing will occur.

[BreakDown1996]

@heyman284 They actually found methane, oceans of methane and a whole atmoshphere of methane

[BreakDown1996]

@heyman284 They actually found methane, oceans of methane and a whole atmosphere of methane

[samwardell]

The Huygens spacecraft was built by the European Space Agency, not NASA.

[MrTr0llol]

@samwardell Nasa operated it.

[Urockett]

@samwardell ESA, NASA and ASI all took part in the Cassini-Huygen mission. I think ESA was responsible for providing the probe spacecraft which was called Huygen like you said while all 3 agencies came together to develop the orbiter "Casini"... not entirely sure about that though.

[claton95]

@samwardell you're point?

[lvll138inrs]

why does nasa always show a photo to the public but they never show us a video? i mean what have they got to hide? is outer space a national security threat already?

[MISANTHROPE00]

@lvll138inrs because their probes dont carry video cameras, they just take pictures, there's no cable modem at saturn you know

[JbmxG89]

@lvll138inrs This craft was not equipped with video cameras, and you do understand the compression rate of videos correct? A hundred 15 kb pics is easier than a 1 minute long video to send back to Earth...

[Mihkellt]

is this footage real or animated?

[LouieNoob]

At 3:42 what is the object casting that shadow on the ground?

[BrainiacN5]

@LouieNoob hey you're right there's a shadow, that's strange. I didn't notice it before seeing your comment. I wonder what it is. It could be just a cloud though.

[BrainiacN5]

@LouieNoob Ahh I know what it was now. I just saw it in another video. It was the parachute lol

[MISANTHROPE00]

@LouieNoob the parachute detaching

[mateuszlee]

anyone please tell me, is this an animation or a real footage from Huygens, and is that sound from Titan or is it added? And if this is a real Huygens footage please tell where to download originall quality?

[lunhil12]

@mateuszlee Nasa.gov



[MISANTHROPE00]

@mateuszlee obviously is an animation....hyugens only took photos of the descent

the animation is well done tough....the title is VERY misleading

[YoyoYo91100]

i saw darth vader!

[atavus13]

GREAT FOOTAGE.

[jomastretch]

soft landing, well done

[alexhamster1134]

i dont think this is the LIVE footage from the cameras, its probably a topographical map which has been textured with the surface?

[yumyum97]

wtf, it's not real.

[BabyWetsAllNight]

What's the weird noise at it lands?

[ORigiNalBEeO4]

@BabyWetsAllNight the sound is the motor of the machine

[ORigiNalBEeO4]

@BabyWetsAllNight the sound is the motor of the machine and the air as it lands. Its cold there so we cant live there

[salecasanova]

@ORigiNalBEeO4 russians can ;)

[zoxnman2]

why the hell would anyone wanna live on titan it freaking rains nitrogen!

[fortunanike]

@zoxnman2 What could be more picturesque?

[GeneralTsosChix]

@Exutus Awww did I offend your sense of righteousness? :( Poor baby. Here's a tissue.  Wipe away the tears little one, and truck on. :) For the record it was a joke.

[backbeatz]

I hope everybody realises this is an ANIMATION.

No craft has landed on Titan yet

[surgednb]

@backbeatz well my mom said she landed on Titan....lolz take that

[jacynm]

@backbeatz

Incorrect, a space probe was launched off of the Cassini spacecraft which landed on Titan. This video is animated, however these are based closely off of the images taken by the probe which landed. Huygens probe, was launched on December 24th/25th and relayed images back to NASA, shortly after relaying images back, the probe failed in the extremely low temperatures.

If you disagree with me look up the Huygens Probe Titan Images. You will see many which look like this animation.

[goodhorsehymn]

@backbeatz animation yes, but Huygens DID land on Titan a few years ago.

[GeneralTsosChix]

5 people don't approve of space travel and still think the earth is flat

[augustofendor]

@GeneralTsosChix LMAO...

[LeeGulleyesit]

this video is way over rated should have a horrible like to dislike ratio. When naming a video, 'footage from satellite Huygen,' you are misleading people into thinking this is is ACTUALLY FOOTAGE FROM SATELLITE HUYGEN. WHEN IN FACT.....IT IS NOT

[patrick4055]

@LeeGulleyesit

Could you please explain what exactly it is then? Also why are the Pictures so brown?

[jacynm]

@patrick4055

An animation created based off of the images taken by the Huygens spaceprobe.

The "picture" or animation is brown because the atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen and methane, and the Cassini spacecraft took images which shows that Titan's thick atmosphere is this colour.

[BaaLaaN]

is this the actual footage??

[Hjernquist]

2:12 and pause ;__;

[Jigiligy]

COOL. They should send robot controlled HD camaras to each and every planet and make videos like this.

[evmvb218]

are these pictures taken with a different bandwith because isnt this planet supposed to be very dark?

[tubegirlification]

Is it blurred out for a reason? I thought you would be able to get good high def pics no matter what???? and what hap at the end???

[wimbletone]

@tubegirlification i think its blurred out cos of all the dust and the gasses? idk id like to just put it that way lol i guess thats why they call some of these heavenly bodies non hospitable lol

[isokessu]

This is very annoying video and it's hard to even see anything well.. :/ it's nothing like the animations from Mars rover landings

[berner]

Is there anything we can do to speed the process of life along, on Titan? Like send probes full of bacteria or moss or some sort of plant life that could survive in the cold and methane environment of Titan?

There must be some way that we can progressively create a plant rich environment, but in a baby step by baby step process.

[jovialduke]

@berner It would be selfish of us to do that really, when there could be methane adapted lifeforms on titan already.

[Cookie901Monster]

wat was that shadow at 3:43?

[GrimSan197]

@Cookie901Monster 

[GrimSan197]

@Cookie901Monster The shadow is the chute falling to the ground after the probe.

[Cookie901Monster]

@GrimSan197 k ty

[puncheex]

This is the actual "video". There was no actual video camera on board; there was an imager that took a picture every now and then through a fisheye lense looking downwards from the parachute, and those images have been sewn together to make a video. The landing took 2.5 hours; no one would have sat still to watch that here on YT, so this summary was put together. The views are actual, down to landing on top of a small rock and pushing it out of the way. This IS NOT CGI or a simulation.

[istvanklein]

It's a European probe, not NASA!

[OCesarruivo]

I agree ,I want to see te real landind on TITAN to......

[invadercheeze]

The human race is one big contradiction: one minute, the we are first-hand filming the farther reaches of our solar system, and the next minute blowing each other up with hand grenades and making ourselves vomit to get skinny. If everybody saw the vast incredible opportunity of space, trivial issues would be just that: trivial.

[DrLsw]

that jus looks like the satellite is zooming in. it doesnt really look like its landing to me...

[RustyKoi]

@DrLsw Yeeeah frankly it just looks like a picture being distorted around.

[puncheex]

@RustyKoi: Fisheye lense. With a name like Rusty Koi that shouldn't be too hard to figure out... :)

[RustyKoi]

@puncheex That explains a lot, the title of the video is misleading/uninformative. Sarcasm wasn't necessary. Thanks.

[puncheex]

@RustyKoi: It wasn't sarcasm; it was a pun on Koi. But what the hell...

[seekwithinonesself]

haha it was hard for me to even take this video seriously, being that your username is jonnyfartypants08. guess that's just the kid in me coming out.

[Jolopero]

I mean why they always show a fake CGI? why not show the real picture of the landing... I dont believe we landed on anything until I see actual raw footage of the machine entering the atmosphere and landing.

[puncheex]

@Jolopero: It is as real as it can be, signals from the imaging experiment. No CGI here. I guess you'll just have to have faith.

[arhamus]

is that a real footage?

[coolhandlewi]

@arhamus yep it is

[xXBIGHENRYXx]

watch optomas prime come out of nowhere.

[monoham1]

i dont wana see CGI images of the solar system!! i wana see the actual RAW footage of the lander! like wikileaks and that civilan bombing in iraq a bit back! i cant tell which is cgi and which is real... if any... why is there sound ffs?

[djdoom99]

this is simulation

[puncheex]

@djdoom99: No, it is not.

[jontibloom]

Incredible Thanks - pity only 8035 viewings for something so awesome. Yes get a video of Lindsy Lohan puking after booze binging session and you'll got 1m hits. Says a lot for the current generation of humans

[Psygnal]

Flyby radar imagery gets you the altitude of the terrain, and photos on the way down by Huygens gets you the actual images. The photos are layered over a 3d model of the terrain produced by the radar images. They can plot the position of the probe itself very accurately within that... so in that respect it's a simulation... but it's based on legit data.

[puncheex]

@Psygnal: Unless you have some real data to the contrary, I'm going to have to call you posting a guess. While Cassini did radar map Titan's surface, what would be the point in draping the landing photos over a terrain map when the lander was actually drifting through the terrain? It would only grossly distort the view. These are the real photos from the Huygens imager here, not photos from the Cassini imager. They look distorted because they were taken through a fisheye looking downwards.

[Greendayfan131313]

Of course this is fake its an animation. NASA couldnt afford to take a video of it.

But the machine did land and provided pictures

[puncheex]

@Greendayfan131313: You really believe that, don't you?

[Sebasstian98]

is anybody else here thinking what I'm thinking

play station 1 had better graphics than that

I mean doesn't nobody else thinks that it is completely fake?

[puncheex]

@Sebasstian98: A play station doesn't have to face -200 degrees, diving through a methane atmosphere, and soft landing on a moon 3 light hours away.

[ZebraErlbeck]

awesome! Now we're the aliens!

[aasyran]

@ZebraErlbeck saturday works as a small to think

[JBME]

@ZebraErlbeck 'we' ALWAYS were the 'aliens' HOW Else do you 'think' life got to this planet ? Via Asteroids & UFOS

[edstar83]

Blah blah blah. it has an atmosphere. its not a piece of rock. I dont care if it orbits uranus. its a planet.

[MfourK]

it's methane and ethane :o

[utubemovieswild]

We have found some liquid on this moon!

It is that this moon is like a very primative earth! I am so proud we made it!

[WeWasteYourTime]

Yes but the liquid aparently isnt watter :(

[surgednb]

@utubemovieswild yes, liquid ethane can be found on the surface of Titan and sometimes it rains liquid methane.

[DarkRealities]

@utubemovieswild Yeah, the liquid is methane (natural gas). And is extremely cold.

[lebhurr]

1 day = 86 400 seconds

speed of light/ second = 186000

distance to saturn = 1000,000,000

time needed to travel = 1000,000,000 / 186000 = 5376.344 seconds

5376.344/ 86400 = 0.06 light days

it only takes 1.4 light hours to travel from earth to saturn

[audiosurfable]

impressive

[SurreallTV]

so how many MINUTES is that???????..or Seconds??...how many?...

[crapdice]

oldham your a fruit cake. titan is NO WHERE near a light year away.

Pluto isn't even a light year away.

[chazmercer]

seriously, i looked and looked for this, where did you get it?

Odham, you are retarded, titan is not a light year away.

it is not a planet. It is a satellite. ..

where in the fuck did this come from? cause i could not find it for the longest time. Also, we sent a probe a bit back into Jupiter, where the hell is that footage?

if you could give me the source for this, that would be great.

[oldham74]

its in possable, titan is more than a light year away. that means it will take us millions of years to get there by traviling the speed of light.

[kenhes]

Actually a light year is the time it takes for light to get there.....so one light year would take light one year to reach. If we went at half the speed of light it would take two years.

[teeku666]

no its not... its a moon on saturn. its

1,227,000,000 Km away. the Huygen launched on October 15, 1997 and entered into orbit around Saturn on July 1, 2004

[conservativeSoldier1]

millions of years would take us to and beyond the edge of the galaxy, yet our small solar system. FYI

[edstar83]

Id titan has an atmosphere wouldn't that make it a freaking planet?

[Interstellarexplorer]

No, because it orbits around a planet, Saturn, and not around a star, like the Sun

[puncheex]

@edstar83: By IAU definition a planet rotates around the primary; in this case, the Sun.

[edstar83]

@puncheex I understand that but what I am saying is it has an atmosphere... To my brain Titan is a planet that happens to be orbiting another planet. what if our moon instead of being a piece of rock, was an exact copy of Earth? Full of animal life and vegetation? would it still be a Moon or a Planet?

[puncheex]

@edstar83: It would be a moon suitable for habitation.

[edstar83]

@puncheex Fair enough. :)

[krnboyee]

actual footage??

[postreal]

Nope. It´s animation made from photos, some kind of camera mapping / camera projection technique probably..

[G0dsAssassin]

Don't you love it how NASA never actually produces any real video and images

[jamesarongray]

@G0dsAssassin why doesnt this suprise

[puncheex]

@postreal: It seems to me that every video is a string of photos "animated", is it not?
