    I remember listening to the landing on NPR(?) when it happened. There was no streaming back then and IDK what channel it would have been on if it was on TV at all. IIRC they brought someone special into the studio because they expected to need someone who was extra good at verbalizing visual things. It was very impressive at the time.

    Ah, what a perfect opportunity to link one of my favorite old Youtube videos, which is an animation of a significant amount of telemetry captured by Huygens as it landed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZC4u0clEc0

    I always loved the presentation of the information.
