-Caveat Lector- CASSINI UPDATE - June 7, 1999 (FlyBy minus 74 days) 1. Cassini Internet Radio Program June 9 @ 9 PM PST 2. Solar Explosion erupts June 1, 1999 BBC story below ===== Cassini Internet Radio Program June 9 @ 9 PM PST Karen Kay Show (http://www.talkspot.com/shows/Karen_Kay_Show/ When: Wedn.,June 9 at 6PM, PST What: The Karen Kay Show will cover the risks of the Cassini spacecraft on June 9. Cassini is carrying 72 pounds of radioactive plutonium, which could be released into the atmosphere if a solar flare or accident should occur, because of inadequate plutonium casings. Researchers say the plutonium could put between 40,000 and 1 billion people at risk of lung or bone cancer, and cause generations of human genetic mutations. Who: EcoNews Service's Alfred Lambremont Webre will be the program's featured guest. 2. Solar Explosion erupts Tuesday, June 1, 1999 Cassini's highest risk is a solar storm that would vaporize Cassini's casings. Earth is now in a high risk period for solar storms. A tremendous explosion took place on the surface of the Sun last Tuesday and for a few very nervous hours astronomers did not know whether it was heading for Earth. They were finally able to pinpoint its target with help from the Internet.

The blast threw a jet of superheated plasma carrying magnetic energy into space at speeds of 1,000 kilometres per second (600 miles per second). However, using the speed of the Internet, astronomers around the world rapidly compared images and decided that a worldwide alert was unnecessary. The explosive event was "a real planet-buster", according to Dr Richard Fisher of Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre. If the magnetic energy within the cloud of superhot gas had interacted with the Earth's magnetic field it would have sparked spectacular aurora at polar latitudes. But more worryingly it could also induce power blackouts, block radio communications and trigger phantom commands capable of sending satellites spinning out of their proper orbits. Cellular phones, global positioning signals and space-walking astronauts were all at risk.
