This animation is based on and uses images taken by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer instrument on board ESA’s Huygens probe on 14 January 2005.

All the features shown here were imaged by the DISR cameras during the descent. While the original images were black and white, they are ‘colorised’ here based on the spectral data acquired by the DISR spectrometers.
