TL;DR: Analysis of silicon-rich, nanometre-sized dust particles (so-called stream particles) that stand out from the water-ice-dominated objects characteristic of Saturn indicate ongoing high-temperature (>90 °C) hydrothermal reactions associated with global-scale geothermal activity that quickly transports hydroThermal products from the ocean floor at a depth of at least 40 kilometres up to the plume of Enceladus.

TL;DR: In this article, the GIADA (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator) experiment on the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft orbiting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was used to detect 35 outflowing grains of mass 10−10 to 10−7 kilograms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss observations of the journey throughout the Solar System of a large interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that was ejected at the Sun on 14 October 2014.

TL;DR: The results show that, remarkably, these grains lack carbon-bearing compounds and have been homogenized in the interstellar medium into silicates with iron inclusions, which suggest the presence of magnesium-rich grains of silicate and oxide composition, partly with Iron inclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rosetta mission orbiter science overview: the comet phase.
TL;DR: The international Rosetta mission was launched in 2004 and consists of the orbiter spacecraft Rosetta and the lander Philae as discussed by the authors, which performed in situ science on the comet's surface.
