These supersonic storms are enough to tear flesh from human bones
Scientists have discovered a planet 500 light-years away from Earth with the fastest wind speed ever recorded.
These 20,000-mile-per-hour supersonic storms are enough to tear flesh from human bones.
According to experts, the speed of these winds on the planet WASP-127b is six times greater than the planet’s rotation speed.
A scientist on the team that discovered this planet said that strong supersonic winds exist at its equator.
The fastest winds in our solar system are on Neptune at 1,200 miles per hour.
In addition, scientists have observed that the morning and evening sides of this Jupiter-sized planet have different temperatures.
