After completing all of its objectives and its propellant exhausted, the Cassini spacecraft was sent plunging to its demise into Saturn s atmosphere in September of 2017 after performing a Grand Finale by zooming through the gap between the planet and its rings.

These risky 11th-hour maneuvers returned a series of detailed measurements that unveiled some distinct features regarding Saturn’s magnetic field and its relationship to helium rain.
Data compiled by the intrepid probe allowed for scientists to peer into the depths of Saturn’s interior makeup where its massive magnetic field churns.
In new research paper published in the online journal, AGU Advances, two planetary scientists at Johns Hopkins University employed computer simulations to test the theory of whether the implementation of a helium rain layer at the top of Saturn’s dynamo zone might influence and reproduce a magnetic field similar to the planet’s surface magnetic field.

A proposed NASA mission to send a probe outside the solar system to study the Sun’s interstellar environment and the heliosphere, the vast bubble-like region marking the extent of the solar wind, is gaining momentum at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
