Astronomers have measured the wind speeds on a faraway world and found that they without comparison, not only to anything on Earth but also in the Solar System. Exoplanet WASP-127b is a hot Jupiter, a ...

Astronomers discovered supersonic winds on a giant gas planet located over 500 light-years from Earth. In a study released Tuesday in Astronomy & Astrophysics astronomers who have been studying ...

The comparable high-altitude winds on Neptune reach about 1,200 miles (2,000 km) per hour. Those, however, are a mere breeze compared to the jet-stream winds on a planet called WASP-127b. Astronomers ...

While the reasons for the staggering weather are not fully understood, the researchers interpret these winds to be six times faster than the speed at which the planet itself rotates. For comparison, ...

The comparable high-altitude winds on Neptune reach about 2,000kph. However, those are a mere breeze compared with the jet stream on a planet called WASP-127b. An image released on Tuesday by the ...

The farthest planet from the Sun, Neptune, is the windiest place in the solar system, with winds that whip through at speeds reaching more than 0.3 miles per second (0.5 kilometers per second).

In comparison, the fastest wind ever measured in the Solar System was found on Neptune, moving at 'only' 0.5 km per second (1800 km/h). The team, whose research was published today in Astronomy ...

Here on Earth, the fastest puff of wind on record was a blustery 407 kilometers (253 miles) per hour, measured on Australia's Barrow Island in 1996. Neptune has the highest wind speeds in our Solar ...

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 ...
