On January 14, 2005, the space station of the European Space Station, ESA, descended on Saturn's largest moon Titan in Saturn, Huygens. Huygens contains images ranging from 0.2 kilometers to 6 kilometers from the landing ground during the gradual landing of its parasut. Titan's climate is much like the Earth, but instead of water there is the hydrocarbon ocean where there is ethen and methane. The fluid temperature here is - 290 degrees Fahrenheit or -180 degrees Celsius.
