Planetary science: Saturn's mixed magnetosphere
Fran Bagenal1
Abstract
When interplanetary shock waves hit the Cassini spacecraft and then Saturn in January 2004, it presented a unique opportunity to study the planet's magnetosphere and to compare it with that of Earth.
Saturn can be considered as the geometric mean of Earth and Jupiter in terms of the strength and extent of its magnetic field. Three papers in this issue — by Clarke et al.1, Kurth et al.2 and Crary et al.3 — describe the response of Saturn's magnetosphere to changes in the solar wind as observed by NASA's Cassini spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).
