NASA'a Cassini spacecraft captured this image of a rare and powerful thunderstorm on Saturn on January 27. The unusually powerful tempest stretches some 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) from north to south. It's located in a region dubbed Storm Alley because of its high atmospheric activity.

Its a hurricane. Its more powerful than Katrina. I wouldn't like to imagine living on Saturn when it hits.

Radio signals suggest that the storm's lightning bolts are a thousand times more powerful than those that accompany Earth storms. Women, minorities hardest hit.

NASA has spotted an enormous thunderstorm on the night side of Saturn, the space agency announced this week. Radio signals suggest that the storm's lightning bolts are a thousand times more powerful than those that accompany Earth storms. That doesn't even compare to a lightning strike on Uranus!
