Abstract

Saturn's Secrets Probed The Cassini spacecraft was launched on 15 October 1997. It took it almost 7 years to reach Saturn, the second-largest planet in the solar system. After almost 6 years of observations of the series of interacting moons, rings, and magnetospheric plasmas, known as the Kronian system, Cuzzi et al. (p. 1470 ) review our current understanding of Saturn's rings—the most extensive and complex in the solar system—and draw parallels with circumstellar disks. Gombosi and Ingersoll (p. 1476 ; see the cover) review what is known about Saturn's atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere.
