Is that indicative of lightning? -------------------- ---------------------------------------------- "Too low they build, who build beneath the stars." - Edward Young

Is that indicative of lightning? not quite sure myself. I tried to be cautious on my blog, not screaming LIGHTNING FOUND ON TITAN?!?!, but at least bringing it to people's attention. From the abstract, it sounds like they are investigating what might have caused the fluctuations with one notable possibility being lightning. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
