Treating migraines effectively might have gotten a lot easier, according to a new study published this month. Researchers at the Albany Medical Center claim that a new innovative treatment offers chronic migraine sufferers prolonged relief from the debilitating headaches.
It takes a space probe an average of 5 years to reach Jupiter-the latest one, Juno, was launched on 5th August 2011 and will not reach the Jovian system until 2016.
My question relates to travel times of the Galileo and Cassini space probes to the planets. My question is why did Galileo take so long (6 years) to reach Jupiter? It was launched in 1989 and reached Jupiter in 1995. Cassini was launched in 1997 and reached Saturn in 2004. That's 7 years travel time to Saturn -- why so long? Pioneer 10/11 only took a couple of years to reach Saturn as did Voyager 1/2- launched in 1977 reaching Saturn in 1980/81. So why did it take Cassini twice as long to get there?
