Imagine an electrical storm larger than the continental United States in
which the lightning bolts are more than 1,000 times stronger than
conventional lightning, and you'll have a good idea of the lightning storm
-- the strongest of its kind ever seen -- that scientists are tracking at
Saturn with the Cassini spacecraft.
