A sonda Cassini - Huygens chega a Titán

n 4 minutes 40 seconds, the movie shows what the probe 'saw' within the few hours of the descent and the eventual landing. At first the Huygens camera just saw haze over the distant surface. The haze started to clear only at about 60 kilometres altitude, making it possible to resolve surface features as large as 100 metres. Only after landing could the probe's camera resolve little grains of sand millions and millions times smaller than Titan. The movie provides a glimpse on such a huge change of scale.

These are real images. The animation is based on pictures from the casini descent imager. They just "mapped" the images onto a 3D model so it makes sense to people watching it. The actual imagery was composed from still-images taken from one side os the spacecraft, which was rotating at about 12rpm during the descent.
