Happy Christmas

The Cassini spacecraft is beginning a four-year study of Saturn. One of its first jobs will be to deliver a very special Christmas present. On 25 December 2004 Cassini will release a probe called Huygens.

Huygens is a European Space Agency mission to explore Saturn's mysterious moon Titan. Hidden beneath the shrouds of Titan's thick atmosphere, we may find clues about how life began on Earth.
