Astronomers uncovered record-breaking supersonic winds on exoplanet WASP-127b, with speeds reaching up to 33,000 kilometers per hour (20,500 miles per hour). This marks the first time such high-speed ...

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. With a ...

Winds circling a gas giant more than 500 light years from Earth have been detected flowing at supersonic speeds approaching 33,000 kilometers (20,000 miles) per hour, making them the fastest air ...

Mars’ Perseverance rover examines towering “Hazyview” sand ripples, revealing ancient winds and mysterious water-dust interactions. Could these dormant formations still shift today? Discover what ...

Astronomers aimed the Very Large Telescope in Chile at a nearby exoplanet and discovered jet stream winds blowing nearly 80 times faster than any seen here on Earth, and the fastest of their kind ever ...

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. With a ...

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) per hour, but they are not the strongest in our solar system. The ...

What can sand dunes on Earth and Mars teach us about the latter’s wind behavior and atmosphere? This is what a recently awarded NASA grant hopes to address as a PhD student at Texas A&M University ...

Hurricanes, as destructive as they are, also play a crucial role in keeping Earth’s climate balanced and our planet green and ...

Planets outside our solar system can be wild, weird places. Astronomers have discovered exoplanets shaped like a rugby ball, or where it rains gems, or which have one hemisphere covered in lava. And ...
