Christiaan Huygens discovered Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
On March 25, 1655, Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huyghens discovered Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. It was nearly 300 years later, in 1944, when Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper discovered one of the characteristics that makes Titan exceptional: this distant moon actually has an atmosphere.
