Moving at roughly 20,505 miles per hour along the distant world’s equator, it’s the fastest known jet stream that wraps around a planet Margherita Bassi - Daily Correspondent January 23, 2025 ...

The wind speeds detected exceed anything seen in our solar system. For comparison, the fastest winds ever measured in our cosmic neighborhood were found on Neptune, moving at “only” 1,800 kilometers ...

The Earth's atmosphere also has smaller, less consistent jet streams, such as the equatorial jet stream and the African easterly jet stream.

Climate scientists and meteorologists expect a weak La Niña to emerge in the next few weeks. Wisconsin meteorologists will be closely monitoring impacts on the polar jet stream.

On a highly irradiated exoplanet like WASP-39 b, which orbits relatively close to its star, researchers generally expect the gas to be moving as the planet rotates. Hotter gas from the day side should ...

This image highlights several features around Jupiter’s equatorial zone that were clearly disturbed by the motion of the high-speed jet stream near the equator. The time stamps of the three sets ...
