(Credit: ESO/L. Calçada) Prepare to be blown away: Astronomers have recorded the most powerful planetary wind thus far — a force that pummels a giant exoplanet with gales faster than the speed of ...

Exoplanet WASP-127b is a hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet orbiting very close to its star. The system is more than 500 light-years away, and observations suggest that it has dramatic weather and a ...

Data collected in this process called for careful analysis, according to researcher Kazumasa Ohno, opening up new knowledge on the exoplanet atmosphere. Super-Venus GJ 1214 b offers new insights ...

Supersonic winds on this exoplanet, designated WASP-127b, travel at a mind-bending 5.5 miles per second (9 kilometers per second). The speed of sound on Earth is roughly 0.21 miles per second (0. ...

This indicates that there is a powerful wind current going around the planet. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant ...

Lisa Nortmann at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and her colleagues used the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile to observe WASP-127b, a giant gas exoplanet more ...

In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to go out and watch a close pairing of two naked-eye planets: Venus and Saturn. The two will be in the southwestern evening sky, and will be closest ...

It wasn’t possible for Green and Sawhney to directly count the number of primes made by squaring two other primes and adding them together. But what if they loosened their constraint just a bit?
