THE MISSION: The European Space Agency's Huygens probe has landed on Saturn's moon Titan in a mission to provide clues to how life arose on Earth.

THE PLAN: The probe carries instruments to explore what Titan's atmosphere is made of and to find out whether it has cold seas of liquid methane and ethane.

THE BACKERS: The mission, a project of NASA, ESA and the Italian space agency, was launched on Oct. 15, 1997, from Cape Canaveral, Fla., to study Saturn, its spectacular rings and many moons.
