Annoying that the image for the article is an 'artist's conception', and further that it's not immediately labelled as such and you need to click through to determine that.



Interestingly, Titan is one of the few places in our solar system where we’ve managed to successfully place a lander (although the descent was more interesting scientifically). The entry was captured as a series of photos, but more recently there’s been some composite footage produced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L471ct7YDo


100% agree. Regular people don't know how real photos from space look like, and will likely mistakenly assume this is. Yes, it's not obvious. Remember this picture?

It circled the Internet recently. Without clear information that's just an artist conception. I had to correct tech people who mistakenly thought it was a photo.


That link just loads a blank page for me on iOS. Weird.
