Forget the wind speed record recorded in Neptune, as the European Security Observatory (ESO) announced today that it has calculated in 30,000 km/h Winds in the Wasp-127B exoplanet.

This gas giant, discovered in 2016 and is more than 500 light years from Earth, is slightly larger than Zeus. He also has a much smaller mass, which makes him look “inflated”, according to astronomers.

Astronomers observed him in detail with the VLT telescope in the desert of Chile. Focusing on its atmosphere, they confirmed the presence of water vapor and carbon monoxide molecules, using the spectrographer Crires.

However, the winds of wind, according to experts’ calculations, exceeded 9 kilometers per second, reached up to 33,000 km/h, according to a study published in the inspection of Astronomy & Astrophysics.

The previous record was about gusts of wind 1.800 km/h in Neptunethe eighth – in order of distance from the sun – planet of our solar system.

The researchers also found that the poles of the WASP-127B are colder than the rest of the planet, while observing a slight temperature difference between day and night.

THE Fie Janone of the authors of the study and professor at the University of China’s Science and Technology, explains that the Wasp-127B exoplanet has “complex climate conditions, just like the land and other planets in our solar system”.

THE David Cont From the University of Munich, also among the authors of the study, he emphasizes that understanding the dynamic such exoplanets could shed light on the mysteries of our solar system.
