With just a couple more days to go until Huygens reaches Titan, I'd thought I would gauge your thoughts on what kind of terrain you think Huygens will land in. My guess would be cryovolcanic plains covered in goo.
Edit: I meant you, not they. What do YOU think Huygens will land in? -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

My predictions:
Only the final set of images will show detail of landforms...the earlier sets will be little but haze. Icy surface with some rocks sticking out. No liquid. Lander will fail on contact with ground. |
