Launched in 1997, the Cassini Orbiter mission has provided a wealth of information on Saturn. The 'Grand Finale' phase provided a plethora of unique observations that have fundamentally changed our understanding of the planet and allowed for the collection of images fifteen times sharper than previously achieved. It also probed the tenuous outer reaches of the atmosphere, Saturn's inner ring system, and the planet's innermost magnetosphere, which yielded gravitational moments with unprecedented accuracy and revealed Saturn's bulk rate of rotation and its internal structure. Written by the World's foremost Saturn experts, this book covers all aspects of Saturn science, from its origin and evolution to the structure of its interior, atmosphere, magnetosphere and radiation belts - including two inner belts discovered by the Cassini Mission. Presenting the latest Cassini results, this is an indispensable reference book for graduate students, researchers and professional scientists in planetary science, atmospheric science and magnetospheric science.

The Cassini Orbiter mission, launched in 1997, has provided state-of-the-art information into the origins and workings of Saturn. Drawing from new discoveries and scientific insight from the mission, this book provides a detailed overview of the planet as revealed by Cassini. Chapters by eminent planetary scientists and researchers from across the world comprehensively review the current state of knowledge regarding Saturn's formation, interior, atmosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere and magnetosphere. Specialised chapters discuss the planet's seasonal variability; the circulation of strong zonal winds; the constantly changing polar aurorae; and the Great Storm of 2010-2011, the most powerful convective storm ever witnessed by humankind. Documenting the latest research on the planet, from its formation to how it operates today, this is an essential reference for graduate students, researchers and planetary scientists.
