Apparent Lightning Discovery On Jupiter Called Significant
Tucson based scientist Bradford Smith leads the Voyager 1 photo team and calls a possible lightning event in Jupiter's atmosphere significant. He notes Earthlike chemistry but energy access may be blocked by upper atmosphere, leaving lightning as the likely energy source for forming organic precursors. Voyager 2 may help but a probe is needed for clarity.
