The strongest winds in the Universe.

They have managed to measure winds on an exoplanet WASP-127b, this planet is larger than Jupiter and is 520 light years from us, astronomers have also discovered that they are the fastest winds in the universe, at least in the known universe, up to 33,000 km per hour is brutal.

These jet winds are the fastest of their kind ever measured on a planet, the discovery was made using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the Southern European Observatory which is located in Chile and provides information on the climate patterns of exoplanets.

Esto se realizó utilizando el instrumento CRIRES+ que está instalado en este telescopio, el Very Large Telescope (VLT) con él se puede medir cómo viaja la luz de la estrella que a la órbita este planeta a través de la atmósfera superior de este planeta y con ello lograron rastrear su composición y ahora su velocidad, este planeta se conocía desde del 2017 aproximadamente desde entonces ya se sospechaba que tenía nubes, por supuesto para conseguir medir esto se necesita un planeta grande y que tenga una atmósfera importante un planeta como la tierra sería extremadamente complicado poder captar esas nubes y esa velocidad, a no ser que esté un poco más cerca claro.

For reference, the fastest wind on Earth was 372 km per hour measured on April 12, 1934 on Mount Washington in the United States and in the solar system the fastest known wind is found on Neptune with a speed of 1800 km per hour.

The winds on this WASP-127b planet are 88.7 times faster than the fastest wind on Earth and 18.3 times faster than the wind on Neptune, but the most surprising thing is that these winds move almost six times faster. Faster than the speed at which the planet rotates, according to researchers, it is something that has never been seen before, that is, if you could fly and not be disintegrated by those winds, it would circle the planet six times before the planet made a turn.
