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.
