A rocket-borne spectrograph detected H I Lyman alpha emission from the disk of Saturn and from the vicinity of the planet. The signal is consistent with an emission brightness of 700 rayleighs for the disk and 200 rayleighs for the vicinity of Saturn. The emission from the vicinity of the planet may be due to a hydrogen atmosphere associated with the saturnian ring system.
一枚火箭携带的分光仪探测到了来自土星盘和行星附近的 H I 莱曼阿尔法发射。该信号与盘的 700 瑞利和土星附近的 200 瑞利的发射亮度一致。行星附近的发射可能是由于与土星环系统相关的氢大气层引起的。
