• Magnetosphere - A magnetosphere is the region around astronomical object in which phenomena are dominated or organized by its magnetic field.
• Emrich has tested the idea with scaled-down version using an argon plasma.
• The new results do show some similarities between and Earth's auroras: Radio waves appear to be tied to the brightest auroral spots.

In a fusion drive, the fields at the end could easily be controlled to the highly energetic alpha particles and propel the craft.

The observations also show that the Sun's magnetic field and solar wind may play a much larger role in Saturn's auroras than suspected. Back To Earth Brazil's first astronaut is back on after a 10 day mission in space. They will next probe how the Sun's magnetic field may fuel Saturn's auroras and learn more details what role the solar wind may play.
