In this episode, we explore the new discovery of an intense narrow equatorial jet in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere, made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We learn how this jet stream is faster and narrower than anything we’ve ever seen before on any planet, and how it is related to the Equatorial Stratospheric Oscillation (ESO), a cycle of alternating winds and temperatures that occurs in Jupiter’s lower stratosphere. We also learn how this discovery has implications and significance for other giant planets and exoplanets.
