"JWST Captures Unprecedented Jet Stream in Jupiter's Atmosphere"

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a high-speed jet stream in Jupiter's lower stratosphere, with wind speeds of 320 miles per hour, twice the velocity of sustained winds in a Category 5 hurricane on Earth. This surprising finding was made possible by the telescope's unique ability to explore the higher-altitude layers of Jupiter's atmosphere. The discovery, made in collaboration with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, provides new insights into Jupiter's intricate atmospheric dynamics and may help scientists understand how wind speeds on the planet change with altitude.
