Strange Radio Emissions from Saturn
Cassini has captured some strange-sounding radio emissions coming from Saturn’s north and south poles. These emissions, called Saturn kilometric radiation, are generated by the planet’s auroras. The changing frequencies probably come from tiny radio sources moving up and down the planet’s magnetic field lines, but scientists are entirely sure what causes them. Cassini will fly close, or possibly even through, this region in 2008, so scientists will have a great opportunity to study them up close.
