Onboard #Huygens, hardware from #MPSGoettingen made its way to the surface of #Titan. We contributed the CCD detector and associated operation electronics to the instrument #DISR – and thus helped to take the first pictures from the surface of an icy moon. credits: ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

Millions of years after formation, the Moon’s immense volcanic activity reheated its crust. As scientists from @ucsantacruz, #MPSGoettingen and @cdf1530 argue today in @Nature, the Moon is at least 4.43 billion years old, but its crust is younger. More: https://t.co/GxHyFYZhQT
