NASA has published a video showing what its Huygens probe saw as it landed on Titan, Saturn's moon. The video shows the most distant touchdown ever made of Earth technology. It's partly simulated, but is based on footage sent back by the probe. There's a nice bit at the start of the film that shows you the Sun and Earth and pans out to show Saturn, showing clearly just how far away it is. Amazing.
