Scientists discover exoplanet with 20,500 mph winds — the fastest in the known universe
While the reasons for the staggering weather are not fully understood, the researchers interpret these winds to be six times faster than the speed at which the planet itself rotates. For comparison, Neptune holds the record for the fastest winds in our solar system; the winds on WASP-127b are an astonishing 18 times stronger.
Stargazers will be treated to a rare seven-planet alignment in February. This is what scientists hope to learn.
