Saturn Storms!


NASA's Cassini spacecraft is tracking a storm on Saturn that is producing massive electrical discharges that are upwards of 10,000 times stronger than lightning found on Earth. The spacecraft tracked the discharges as the storm started, now in its fifth month of existence. The spacecraft has seen a few storms in the last few years that have lasted about a month, but this storm has obviously lasted much longer than the previously observed storms!
