Cassini-Huygens (English Cassini — Huygens) – automatic spacecraft co-created by NASA, the European the space agency and the Italian space agency, in currently exploring the planet Saturn, rings and satellites.

The device consists of two main elements: directly Cassini orbiter station and Huygens descent probe (Eng. Huygens probe), intended for landing on Titan. Cassini-Huygens was launched on October 15, 1997 and reached the system Saturn July 1, 2004.
On December 25, 2004, the Huygens probe separated from the main apparatus. The probe reached Titan on January 14, 2005 and performed successful descent in a satellite atmosphere. Cassini station at the same time became Saturn’s first artificial satellite.
UFO Diaries blog author Scott Waring says:
“I was looking at Saturn’s photographs when I came across one interesting. On it was recorded the landing site of the device Cassini Huygens. I knew that any landing site must have of great importance to NASA. The probe must be sent to a place where you can then take off again.

There were two blackouts in the photo of the place. I found two in them structures, each with a lot of right angles. Structure on the photo looks 3-4 floors high, and I say this because it is in the depths. Shadows reveal three layers, one above the other. ”

“NASA and ESA have worked on a Cassini touchdown project on Titan together … So the European Space Agency also knows about buildings. It makes you wonder how many countries know. about the existence of aliens, “writes Waring.
Lakes on Titan
The radar images received on July 21, 2006 were found “reservoirs” filled with liquid hydrocarbons (methane or ethane) located in the northern hemisphere of Titan. This is the first case of the discovery of currently existing lakes outside the Earth. The size of the lakes varies from kilometer to hundreds of kilometers.
March 13, 2007 mission management announced discovery a large cluster of “seas” in the northern hemisphere of Titan. One of water bodies in size are slightly larger than the Earth’s Caspian Sea.
Life on Titan
Cassini-Huygens discovered several chemical anomalies on Titanium surface.
Under the influence of sunlight in the atmosphere hydrogen and acetylene, which should have been observed including Titanium surface. However, there are no traces of acetylene on the surface detected, and the amount of hydrogen close to the surface decreases, that some experts (Chris McKay, NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, California; Heather Smith, International Space University in Strasbourg, France) interpreted as indirect features the presence of life.
According to their assumptions, there may exist life forms on Titan, different from earth, based on methane (instead of water), breathing hydrogen and eating acetylene. Assumptions have been advanced as far back as 2005 year.
However, less optimistic specialists (Mark Allen, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California) are prone to consider the biological causes of loss of hydrogen and acetylene in last but not least, all possible non-biological explanations of this phenomenon.
Chris Mackay himself also admits that research results discover “a very unusual and currently inexplicable chemistry … Perhaps not signs of life, but very interesting. ”
