Using data from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) captured in July 2022, researchers were able to identify a high-speed jet stream that spans more than 4,800km just above Jupiter's equator.
The newly discovered jet stream travels at 515kph — twice the sustained winds of a category 5 hurricane on Earth.
It is located around 40km above Jupiter's clouds in the planet's lower stratosphere.
