NASA Image of the Day

Huygens on Titan
In 2005 the robotic Huygens probe landed on Titan, Saturn's enigmatic moon, and sent back the first ever images from beneath Titan's thick cloud layers. This artist's impression is based on those images. In the foreground, sits the car-sized lander that sent back images for more than 90 minutes before running out of battery power. The parachute that slowed Huygen's re-entry is seen in the background, still attached to the lander. Smooth stones, possibly containing water-ice, are strewn about the landscape. Analyses of Huygen's images and data show that Titan's surface today has intriguing similarities to the surface of the early Earth. Image Credit: ESA

Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map

Why did Buzz Aldrin's flag wave if there's not an atmosphere? How was the Moon formed and what is it REALLY made of? These questions and many more are answered in our Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map.


Phlare's Lunar Science Cards & Lunar Map cover the origin, geology, rotation, phases, eclipses and craters of the Moon, with a special emphasis on manned exploration of our satellite. There are 25 question-and-answer cards which cover the origin, atmosphere and composition of the moon, the maria, rotation and farside of our satellite, lunar eclipses, the tides, phases of the moon, craters, mountains, the south pole, moon dust, moon landing and other cards on the Apollo missions.

The Lunar Map is 18" x 24" with a 13" x 24" map, lunar statistics, places to see and their coordinates, and the benefits of the moon on the front. (Did you know the moon stabilizes the axial tilt of the earth?) The back lists every mission to the moon, from Ranger through Surveyor, Lunar Orbiter, Apollo, and the Luna & Zond series', and includes a sizable section on returning to the moon and remaining.
