Kind of curious about the energetic particle situation. IIRC, the terrestrial observatories looking for 'shower' events is just coming online, so there isn't a very good baseline yet to evaluate the overall environment in this regard. Do you suppose that it's been heavier than average of late, given that Cassini also experienced an event not too long ago? Don't know if other missions have had any problems. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
