"Mysterious Light Show Seen at Saturn " - what is happening?

www.spacewather.com and www.space.com... are talking today about a new strange "aurora" on Saturn.

""Saturn's unique auroral features are telling us there is something special and unforeseen about this planet's magnetosphere and the way it interacts with the solar wind and the planet's atmosphere," said Nick Achilleos, a scientist on the Cassini magnetometer team at the University College London. "Trying to explain its origin will no doubt lead us to physics which uniquely operates in the environment of Saturn."

What could be the cause for this? Saturn is too far away from the Sun to be affected by the solar wind in this way , plus there was no solar wind to create this anyway (hardly any sunspots, no coronal ejections etc)

so the question is - what is creating this? why is the magnetical field so active on Saturn? 2012 again? i hope it is not the extra energy from the galactic plan we actually aproach....

sorry , did not see it - news already posted here:

It could possible due to the fact that the hemiosphere( The magnetic field created by the sun that protects the solar system from interstellar radiation) is shrinking and there is must more radiation penetrating closer to the center of our solar system...
