Supersonic Winds on Exoplanet WASP-127b Discovered

In a remarkable scientific breakthrough, astronomers have unveiled the fastest jet stream recorded on a planet to date, reaching speeds of up to 33,000 km/h (approximately 9 km/s). The study reveals that these winds travel around the equator of WASP-127b and are remarkably impactful on the planet’s weather patterns. The discovery sheds light on the dynamic atmosphere of WASP-127b and provides insights into the atmospheric processes occurring on distant exoplanets.

    Oh you say the thirty three thousand kilometer per hour winds are impactful on the weather patterns, eh? Gosh I would never have guessed!

    But why? The planet didn’t just change rotation speed, right?

    And is that image real or artistic impression?
