Titan winds pummelled Huygens
Huygens had a rough ride during its descent to Titan

Scientists have successfully measured the wind speeds that pummelled Huygens during its bumpy descent through the atmosphere of Titan.

Researchers initially feared the information was lost because one of Cassini's receivers was faulty.

But a network of terrestrial radio telescopes has managed to salvage the data, to the delight of the team.

Measurements reveal that wind speeds are weak near the surface of Titan, becoming stronger with altitude.

4. Am I the only one who can't help LOL at the word "Huygens"?

Thanks to Jon Stewart and the Daily Show.. When I see that word, all I can think of is Jerry Lewis (Or Professor J. Frink) saying it.
