When they say "with a decent telescope you will be able to see it". I guess everyone has a Hubble telescope to use.

The Huygens probe is named for Christiaan Huygens, the Dutch astronomer who discovered the moon.

Man, that must have been back before night was invented.

Huygens Probe is too small to be seen from Earth. I have seen Titan before though my 8 inch telescope. It is about 8th magnitude. Saturn is really cool to observe.
