First full mosaics of Titan's surface

As the large amount of data collected by the ESA Huygens probe during its descent onto Titan is being processed, new views of this fascinating world become available.The Descent Imager Spectral Radiometer (DISR) team have now produced the first complete ‘stereographic` and 'gnomonic' mosaic images. Using special image projection techniques, the team combined a series of images captured by Huygens while rotating on its axis at an altitude of about 20 kilometres.
