Touchdown!
The Huygens space probe has touched down on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, Titan, and is sending back data!
The data has not arrived on Earth yet, but a radio telescope has detected that the probe is working. It had been transmitting data for over two hours as it parachuted to Titan’s surface.
This is the furthest landing from Earth ever!
