🌌 Webb telescope discovers a new 3,000 mile wide jet stream on Jupiter

Plus: Farthest radio burst, DNA nanomachine, health crisis and Amazon's urine-based drink NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered a high-speed jet stream in Jupiter's atmosphere, 25 miles above its clouds. This jet stream, 3,000 miles wide and traveling at 320 mph, was an astonishing finding. Webb's advanced imaging revealed details that had not been spotted before, helping scientists understand Jupiter's complex weather patterns. The jet stream's discovery shed light on the planet's atmospheric dynamics, indicating connections to existing wind patterns. This finding highlighted Webb's ability to reveal previously unknown aspects of distant planets. Learn more about the climate impact in today's [Must Read](. Good morning.

Must Read [🔭 Webb telescope discovers a new 3,000 mile wide jet stream on Jupiter]( NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered something new in Jupiter's atmosphere. Above the leading clouds, a high-speed jet stream runs over the giant planet's equator. This jet stream is about 3,000 miles (4,800 km) wide and travels about 320 miles (515 km) per hour. It is located in the lower stratosphere, about 25 miles (40 km) above the clouds. The discovery of this jet stream surprises the scientists who study Jupiter's weather. They are interested in how the different layers of the atmosphere interact with each other and create the planet's famous storms and winds. The jet stream could be a clue to understanding these processes. The research team used Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) data in July 2022. The camera captured images of Jupiter in four different filters, each showing a different altitude of the atmosphere. The images were taken 10 hours apart, or one Jupiter day.

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) was successful in determining the origin of this distant FRB (named FRB 20220610A). It was traced back to a galaxy so far away that its light had traveled for eight billion years to reach us.
