Cassini Lightning ⛈

Cassini, the spacecraft that orbited Saturn, did not directly study lightning on the planet itself. However, it did capture images of lightning on Saturn from a distance. In 2009, Cassini's cameras detected flashes of lightning within Saturn's storm clouds. These observations provided valuable insights into the dynamics of Saturn's atmosphere and weather patterns.

Saturn's lightning is believed to be similar to lightning ⛈ on 🌎 , but with some differences due to the planet's unique composition and conditions. The data collected by Cassini helped scientists better understand the electrical activity occurring within Saturn's thick atmosphere and its interaction with the planet's rings and moons.
