NASA has spotted an enormous thunderstorm on the night side of Saturn

Huh? The planet rotates one every 10 hours, more than twice as fast as earth.

That doesn't even compare to a lightning strike on Uranus!

Ouch, did I just say that? LOL, I didn't realize the double entendre until I wrote that down.

I know what you mean, sometimes it seems Bart and Homer must be Freepers...LOL!

Tell me, what's your opinion on the 'lightning demands liquid water' theory?

Lightning (or, as we pronounced it, "Lightnin'") preferred some oats with his water (trough). ;')

Okay, two can play...that atmospheric phenomena the Aussies call 'sheet lightning' was something I observed many times whilst riding my horse, droving, behind a herd of Hereford cattle. Obviously, (as far as I know) the horse and the Herefords are somehow connected to what I observed...
