Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet. Reaching speeds ...

Astronomers discovered supersonic winds on a giant gas planet located over 500 light-years from Earth. In a study released ...

This artist’s visualisation of WASP-127b, a giant gas planet located about 520 light-years from Earth, shows its newly discovered supersonic jet winds that move around the planet’s equator.

Moving at roughly 20,505 miles per hour along the distant world's equator, it’s the fastest known jet stream that wraps ...

Explore the extraordinary weather phenomena on WASP-127b, where supersonic winds reach speeds of 33,000 kilometers per hour.

In Earth's upper atmosphere, a fast-moving band of air called the jet stream blows with winds of more than 275 miles (442 km) ...

Reaching speeds up to 33,000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jet stream of its kind ever measured on a planet. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large ...

Those, however, are a mere breeze compared to the jet-stream winds on a planet called WASP-127b. Astronomers have detected winds howling at about 20,500 miles per hour on this large gaseous planet ...
