An analysis of Cassini data from 2005 have shown that static electricity from Hyperion briefly did strike the space probe with static electricity when it passed the moon at a distance of 2000 km.

Thank you for the explanation ynyralmaen.
Spacecom did a page with this story also, and they did indeed mention charged dust. It's nice to get that detail confirmed. =) Now with ynyralmaen's hint of some other interesting news arriving soon I wonder if that other body might be the "Death star" Mimas since said space orientated website got this piece about the libration and what that might mean for the contents of the core of that moon. |
