TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a high-speed jet stream over Jupiter's equator, measuring more than 3,000 miles wide and traveling at about 320 mph. This finding, observed using the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera, provides new insights into Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere and may help researchers understand the planet's extreme weather patterns. By comparing the data with previous observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists hope to gain a clearer understanding of the wind speeds and atmospheric dynamics on Jupiter.
