		Auroras on Saturn (http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/2005/06/text/).  From hubblesite.org: The dancing light of the auroras on Saturn behaves in ways different from how scientists have thought possible for the last 25 years. New research by a team of astronomers led by John Clarke of Boston University has overturned theories about how Saturn's magnetic field behaves and how its auroras are generated.
