Science!
Scientists have discovered the fastest known
jet stream, with winds reaching a staggering 20,500 miles per hour (33,000 km/h).
The winds on the exoplanet WASP-127b make even Neptune’s impressive 1,200 miles per hour winds seem like a gentle breeze, and Earth’s 275 mph barely a breath. The discovery sets a new record for the fastest jet stream winds observed on any
planet.
Located 520 light-years from Earth, in a tight orbit around a star similar to our sun, WASP-127b is a gaseous giant orbiting a sun-like star in our Milky Way galaxy.
The supersonic winds are concentrated around WASP-127b’s equator, further adding to the planet’s unusual characteristics……..
