Cassini Significant Events for 01/16/03 - 01/22/03
[snip] Cosmic Dust Analyzer personnel have detected dust in the region between Jupiter and Saturn. Although the rate is very low (about 1/month), this measurement is the first highly reliable dust impact detection at such distances from Sun. The clear impact signals are very similar to ground based measurements and therefore are believed to be 100% reliable. The last impact occurred on Jan 09, 2003 at 8.0 Astronomical Units. The relative impact speeds of the particles are 50 km/s or higher and their sizes are below 0.1 microns.
