   Just like on Earth, where some radio waves can travel around the   
   horizon, radio waves on Saturn can also do that.   
      
   "Cassini's radio plasma wave instrument detects the storm every time it   
   rotates into view, which happens every 10 hours and 40 minutes, the   
   approximate length of a Saturn day. Every few seconds the storm gives   
   off a radio pulse lasting for about a tenth of a second, which is   
   typical of lightning bolts and other electrical discharges. These   
   radio   
   waves are detected even when the storm is over the horizon as viewed   
   from Cassini, a result of the bending of radio waves by the planet's   
   atmosphere."   
      
   Ring planet DX anyone?  :-)
