  • In 1984, one of three satellites in a mission called the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorer (AMPTE), which was designed to study the basic physics of plasmas, produced a plasma cloud thousands of kilometres across.

  • Data taken by Cassini's Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI) and the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) shows that there is more to the forces that cause the shape than previously thought, and that the shape of the heliosphere more closely resembles a bubble.

  • From Physorg.com: "These images have revolutionized what we thought we knew for the past 50 years; the sun travels through the galaxy not like a comet but more like a big, round bubble," said Stamatios Krimigis of the Applied Physics Lab, in Laurel, Md., principal investigator for Cassini's Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument which carries the Ion and Neutral Camera.

  • The Mag-beam combines the key features of high-power beam plasma sources along with an earlier concept that Winglee was developing called Mini-Magnetospheric Plasma propulsion, or M2P2 , where spacecrafts would be encased in a plasma bubble and sail across the galaxy on solar winds.

  • The day after closest approach was a caboose period with the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer as the prime instrument during a Magnetospheric and Plasma Science campaign.

  • Magnetospheric physicist James Slavin at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and his colleagues suggest the rapid buildup and release of energy seen there are much like substorms on Earth, but ours accrue 10 times less energy and take place over the course of an hour or so.

  • Measurements from the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) and the Magnetospheric IMaging Instrument (MIMI) show that both the moon and its plume are continuously soaking up the plasma, which rushes past at around 30 kilometres per second, leaving a cavity downstream.
