Cassini orbiter listens to lightning storm on saturn

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.
