<UmbralRaptop> "Twenty years ago, the main journals in astrophysics began to publish electronically. At the same time, the number of ApJ articles preprinted in the arXiv exceeded 50% for the first time (it is now about 90%), and the number of astronomy research papers downloaded via the ADS exceeded the number read in all the world’s print libraries, combined, for the first time."

<bofh^28> UmbralRaptop: so until Voyager 2 encountered Herschel, we had no idea if it had an intrinsic magnetic field or if what we saw from Earth were the effects of a solar-wind induced magnetic field like with Venus.
