Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64169195 Nope, it just received a little long distance zap. I'm just finishing the paper now.

Setheory (OP) User ID: 58314519 United States 10/17/2014 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' |

Setheory (OP) User ID: 58314519 United States 10/17/2014 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.

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. |
