NASA Probe Zapped by Saturn Moon's Static
Interesting new article just posted to space.com

[link to www.space.com]

I'm not sure I'm buying it yet, so I'm going to have a look at the original paper.

From the article:

"It was rather like Cassini receiving a 200-volt electric shock from Hyperion, even though they were over 2,000 kilometers [1,200 miles] apart at the time," Tom Nordheim, a doctoral candidate at Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), University College London, said of the new finding in a statement.

Still looking for the paper, but I'm guessing dielectric charging is involved.

Nope, it just received a little long distance zap.

I'm just finishing the paper now.

This is actually a fascinating paper. While I’m not real surprised by the phenomenon itself, it is the distance at which this occurred that was unexpected to me. >>>>> 2000 Km.

Apparently Hyperion’s orbit takes it in and out of Saturn’s Magnetosphere, which would certainly provide a mechanism for this type of charge potential, but the instruments seemed to show that the electrons were originating from the solar terminator which may suggest some dielectric charging is at work here as well.

This should have an impact on future mission planning.

That is not my takeaway, as I don’t subscribe to that theory.

However, IMO it shows that we have probably underestimated the surface potential of irregularly shaped bodies in our solar system. We may also have to rethink the distances involved when it comes to establishing magnetic connections with mission targets.

time is generated by Saturn/Chronos

so getting close to it you will experience its huge electro-magnetic field

by placing a satellite close enough to saturn you could see future by far more than the 72 hours they can at the moment

Don't be too concerned. To the true EU followers, there is no experiment, no observation, nor any other evidence whatsoever that can possibly dissuade them from their theory (and I use the word most loosely).

Thus, the EU idea has merely become yet another failed Zeta-religion.
