Found this for those of you wondering what it is.
www.amazines.com...

Thought it was interesting... never heard of it, let alone seen one before.

Also found this: en.wikipedia.org...

Oh, so what you're saying is that it's some sort of "RADIOTHERMAL GENERATOR" or something?

RTG's Galileo carried them for power contained 34 lbs of Plutonium 238

Cassini has them and carries 72 lbs of Plutonium 238

In comparison Nagasaki bomb had 12 lbs of Plutonium 238

Galileo was crashed into Jupiter, Casini was scheduled to be crashed into Saturn in 2008 but that mission was extende to 2010...

2010 by Arthur C Clarke showed us Jupiter being ignited into a second sun named "Lucifer'

Hence the start of the "Project Lucifer Conspiracy"

Of course, while the tsar bomba (en.wikipedia.org...) released 2.1 x 10^17 Joule of energy, shoemaker-levy impacting jupiter released an estimated 2,5 x 10^22 Joule. still failed to ignite.

I think your request to have it explained has been met in spades.

It's a thermal generator as it says quite clearly in the accompanying caption to the photo.

Did you post this in jest, surely you must have done?

That may be true and its unlikely we could ignite Jupiter... but shoemaker-levy may have had more energy, but not the RIGHT KIND of energy. It would not have released a stream of neutrons to cause a fusion chain reaction
