AB: The talk will summarize the discoveries that pertain to the planet itself -- the composition and dynamics of its atmosphere and the nature of its magnetic and gravitational fields. I will review the results of remote sensing investigations covering the ultraviolet, visible, near infrared, far infrared, and microwave portions of the spectrum. I will also review the results of the magnetometer and plasma wave investigations, with emphasis on what they reveal about the rotation of Saturn's atmosphere and interior.
