Bzzzzrrtt.

Ouch. Lightning on Saturn is apparently 1000 times more powerful than on Earth. That's something you'd really want to know before landing there! But how do they know such things? And how long will it be before man sets foot on Saturn? And do the rings go all the way around or are they just confined to the one orbit above the equator? And if we send probes to other planets first to find out "stuff", why wouldn't others ... planets that is, not the Russians or Chinese.
