Now, it is almost 8 years since that event, and scientists are still exploring this alien world using Huygens’ information as their eyes. It took 10 nail-biting seconds from first impact until the probe bounced, slid and wobbled to a complete stop. Scientists from the European Space Agency have created a computer simulation to show exactly what the landing would have looked like.
Sasa, ni karibu miaka 8 tangu tukio hilo, na wanasayansi bado wanachunguza ulimwengu huu wa kigeni kwa kutumia maelezo ya Huygens kama macho yao. Ilichukua sekunde 10 za kuuma kucha kutoka athari ya kwanza hadi uchunguzi ulipodunda, kuteleza na kutikisika hadi kusimama kabisa. Wanasayansi kutoka Shirika la Anga la Ulaya wameunda simulizi ya kompyuta ili kuonyesha jinsi kutua kungefanana.
