The environment around Saturn is very specific.
The interesting thing for me is that here we have the unique opportunity to gather some real data (because of Cassini's presence), about the behaviours of considerable volumes of both hot and cold, gravity bound plasmas in a big planetary magnetic field.
The comment about plasmas and rotation of pulsars (in the same breath) is quite surprising. I can see the possibility of plasmas having some kind of role to play in the 'glitches' emanating from pulsars … but the rotation ??
We may never be able to keep the other Alex calm about this one !!
Cheers
