Moving at roughly 20,505 miles per hour along the distant world's equator, it’s the fastest known jet stream that wraps around a planet ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two ...

The exoplanet Enaiposha, or GJ 1214 b, is a hazy world orbiting a red dwarf star about 47 light-years from Earth. Previously likened to a mini-Neptune, in-depth observations obtained using JWST now ...

Explore the extraordinary weather phenomena on WASP-127b, where supersonic winds reach speeds of 33,000 kilometers per hour.

Astronomers recorded extreme winds of 33,000 kph on exoplanet WASP-127b, a 'hot Jupiter' with low density orbiting close to its star. Advanced atmosph ...

To put the wind speeds into perspective, the fastest winds ever observed in our solar system are on Neptune, at a speed of ...

Planets with suns like Wolf 359 are subject to huge blasts of radiation that raise questions about their long-term habitability.

WASP-127b's diameter is about 30% larger than Jupiter, our solar system's largest planet. But its mass is only about 16% that ...

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 ...

Astronomers have detected supersonic winds on the hot Jupiter WASP-18b, with speeds of 5,400 mph, offering new insights into atmospheric dynamics and exoplanet exploration.

The so-called 'planetesimal belts' are filled with tiny millimeter-sized particles created by collisions between comets.

AN ALIEN planet with traces of water and “complex weather patterns like Earth” might be seen like a good contender for a ...
