Why would that be the right thing to do? The landing is merely one part
if the mission---The [[Apollo 11]] page, by comparison, doesn't have one
article on the trip *to* the moon, and a separate article on the moon
landing. There's one article on the entire mission, trip and landing,
and then separate articles on the equipment, like the lunar module. So,
here, the landing should be in [[Cassini-Huygens]], unless we're talking
about detailed information about how the landing was carried out by the
probe or something like that.
I don't see how this is American bias, either. The European Space
Agency's own website containing the pictures of the landing has a title
of "Cassini-Huygens", and is located here:
http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Cassini-Huygens/index.html
The ESA's gallery with the pictures is entitled "Cassini-Huygens images"
(left sidebar on the above site).
I just don't see *anyone*, including the ESA, using "Huygens" as a
separate name for the landing, only as the name of the piece of
equipment. So it would seem reasonable that we use the name that both
NASA and the ESA use, which is "Cassini-Huygens".
