Sometimes I wonder if Saturn is a great big space station that is also a super giant Tesla coil, the outer rings being the primary coil, the planet itself a spherical/spiral secondary coil.

After all, Saturn has the most powerful lightning in the solar system. "The lightning flashes [on Saturn] are 10,000 times stronger than lightning flashes on Earth, research team member Georg Fischer, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, said via email."
