The Huygens landing site projected on to Titan's disc. The co-ordinates of the landing are: 192.3º West; 10.3º South (southern hemisphere of Titan).

The background image, adapted from the NASA JPL Photojournal image PIA06201, was taken by the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini orbiter's ISS imaging camera during the Titans fly-by of 26 October 2004.
