Jupiter's Atmosphere Unveils Astonishing Discovery, Shocks Scientists

TL;DR Summary
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new feature in Jupiter's atmosphere - a high-speed jet stream spanning over 3,000 miles wide above the planet's equator. This finding provides insights into the interaction of different layers of Jupiter's atmosphere and highlights the unique imaging capabilities of the Webb telescope. The jet stream, which travels at about 320 miles per hour, is located around 25 miles above the clouds in Jupiter's lower stratosphere. Further observations will be conducted to determine if the jet's speed and altitude change over time.
