and began transmitting data. After several months of orbiting, the Huygens probe began its descent towards the surface of Titan. The probe relayed data from its 25-hour descent before reaching the surface and shutting down, while Cassini continued its scheduled four-year orbit. It sent back startling images of Saturn’s surface, including photographs of a giant hurricane system more than 500 miles across. Yet the mission is not over.
