The newly discovered jet stream in Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere spans more than 3,000 miles wide and has winds travelling at around 320 miles per hour.<\/p>\n
The jet provides an insight into how the layers of Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere interact with each other, and how Webb is capable of tracking those features.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is something that totally surprised us,\u201d said Ricardo Hueso of the University of the Basque Country, lead author on the paper describing the findings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we have always seen as blurred hazes in Jupiter\u2019s atmosphere now appear as crisp features that we can track along with the planet\u2019s fast rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n
