Solar-Powered Interplanetary Shock Tracked To Saturn
In a dramatic proof that solar coronal mass ejection (CME) events affect even
the outermost portions of the Solar System, scientists have traced an
interplanetary shock from the Sun to Earth to Jupiter to Saturn.
They report the discovery of a strong transient polar emission on Saturn,
tentatively attributed to the passage of an interplanetary shock. The
shock-triggered events were first seen here on Earth, where auroral storms were
recorded. Next, auroral activity on Jupiter was seen to be strongly enhanced.
Finally, the unusual polar emission on Saturn was noted. This sequence of events
establishes that shocks retain their ability to trigger planetary auroral
activity throughout the Solar System.
