And that they were able to pick up from Earth, it turns out. And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens. You can do one critical piece of science with the carrier signal alone and that is ...

The Huygens project—named for Christiaan Huygens, the Dutch astronomer who in 1655 discovered Titan—is something of a pioneer back on Earth too. It is Europe’s farthest stab by far into the universe.

Twenty years ago, a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a billion mile trek to Saturn. The photos the probe took revealed some astonishing things about Saturn, its rings and moons.

The featured missions were selected through a poll conducted by The Planetary Society, with the top results being the Voyager "Grand Tour" program of the 1970s and 1980s; the Cassini/Huygens ...
