Interesting news from NASA today about lightning striking the poles on Jupiter:

Images from a NASA probe have shown that lightning does occur at the poles on Jupiter, a phenomenon previously only seen on Earth, a study released Tuesday said.

Lightning strikes had previously been observed at lower latitudes and around the equator on the gas planet but the jagged bolts of electricity had never been observed at either of its two poles, puzzling astronomers.

Maybe it’s just me but the thought of “lightning” + “gas planet” seems a bit alarming, don’t you think? Kind of makes me wonder if Einstein was right when he said God does not play dice with the universe.
