Description
The Cassini Orbiter mission, launched in 1997, has provided state-of-the-art information into the origins and workings of Saturn.
Drawing from new discoveries and scientific insight from the mission, this book provides a detailed overview of the planet as revealed by Cassini.
Chapters by eminent planetary scientists and researchers from across the world comprehensively review the current state of knowledge regarding Saturn's formation, interior, atmosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere and magnetosphere.
Specialised chapters discuss the planet's seasonal variability; the circulation of strong zonal winds; the constantly changing polar aurorae; and the Great Storm of 2010-2011, the most powerful convective storm ever witnessed by humankind.
Documenting the latest research on the planet, from its formation to how it operates today, this is an essential reference for graduate students, researchers and planetary scientists.
