The reason? Fierce jet stream winds supercharging its speed. The jet stream is like a river of west-to-east winds in the upper atmosphere. Airplanes use it like a highway. If flights are heading ...

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.
