Paris (ESA) Jun 11, 2018. Data from the international Cassini mission has revealed that a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection can occur on the dayside of Saturn, within the planet's magnetic environment. Reconnection happens when two magnetic fields collide - for example when the Earth's magnetic field is hit by the stream of charged particles released by the Sun as the solar wind. The magnetic field arou ... ....
