Discovery of Titan
Titan was discovered on March 25, 1655, by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Christiaan was inspired by Galileo's discovery of Jovian moons Europa, Io, Ganymede and Callisto. With his brother, they began building telescopes around 1650. Christiaan discovered Titan with the first telescope they had built.
