>Jupiter is wreathed in storms that incandesce with lightning. But determining just how powerful its lightning can get has been difficult because most bolts are obscured by the gas giant’s thick clouds.
Now, a study published this month in AGU Advances has provided a shocking answer: Individual bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than Earth’s own. The discovery comes courtesy of an instrument onboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft, a mission that’s orbited the gas giant for the past decade.
