Black shadows in Saturn ring has observed by NASA
News24xx.com - Before Cassini dives into the planet Saturn and destroys it self, NASA's exploratory plane is immortalizing a number of photographs that are eventually sent to Earth.
Some of them are photos that show strange shadows behind the planet's rings.
That shadows are taken when Cassini passes through the layer of the ionosphere of Saturn from an altitude between 2,600-4,000 kilometers (about 1,615-2,485 miles).
A photograph show the shadow as if out of the ring due to solar ultraviolet radiation that reduces ionization in the ring region.
According to research scientists from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the reduced ionization in the region of the ring also resulted in a decrease in plasma.
Saturn has four parts of the ring: A, B, C, and D. Ring A and ring B actually potentially exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
Therefore, the part of the ring that is exposed to this radiation produces a strange shadow that Cassini caught. While other parts of the ring, C and D, are not affected by ultraviolet radiation.
"The thickness of the electrons in the ionosphere of Saturn changes drastically from one orbit to another, and the variation results in the effect of frictional electrons in the planet's ring portion," says researcher William Kurth.
Cassini himself blew himself up in September 2017. A few seconds before Cassini blew himself up, he sent data and a final signal to NASA.
Based on the information reported by CNN, the plane drowned itself in the atmospheres of the planet in high speed.
The "Death Dive" process takes place at 6.30 am United States time. The latest data was received by the team of Deep Space Network astronomers in Canberra, Australia an hour and a half after Cassini exploded. The latest Cassini data contains transcripts related to the composition of the planet.
