A new study has revealed the structure of extreme winds on WASP-121b, a gas giant located 1,300 light-years away. This ...

The planet WASP-121b is extreme. It's a gas giant almost twice as big as Jupiter orbiting extremely close to its star–50 times closer than the Earth does around the sun. WASP-121b is so close to its ...

Jupiter is a chaotic and stormy place. The gas giant planet's spots and swirls come from massive storms that whip up prevailing winds as fast as 335 miles an hour at the equator—faster than any ...

Jupiter is back! - Part 3 ...

Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. One day lasts about 9.5 Earth hours. This creates powerful winds that can whip around the planet at more than 300 mph. More from Science ...

A high risk of rip currents through Tuesday evening and small craft advisories through Wednesday morning have also been issued.

Mostly sunny with a high of 82 °F (27.8 °C). Winds E at 11 to 13 mph (17.7 to 20.9 kph). Night - Clear. Winds variable at 10 to 12 mph (16.1 to 19.3 kph). The overnight low will be 71 °F (21.7 ...

Night - Partly cloudy with a 49% chance of precipitation. Winds variable at 7 to 9 mph (11.3 to 14.5 kph). The overnight low will be 64 °F (17.8 °C). Partly cloudy with a high of 78 °F (25.6 °C).

These bands encircle Jupiter, and are driven by winds of up to 360 kilometres per hour. Each travels in the opposite direction to its neighbours, leading to tremendous turbulence where two bands meet.
