by Detailed measurements from the Grand Finale phase of NASA’s Cassini mission revealed distinctive features of Saturn’s magnetic field.
These features provided critical constraints on Saturn’s deep interior where its magnetic field is generated.
In new research, a duo of planetary scientists at Johns Hopkins University used computer simulations to explore whether the implementation of a helium rain layer at the top of Saturn’s dynamo region could help reproduce a magnetic field resembling the gas giant’s surface magnetic field features.
