This view of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere from NASA’s Juno spacecraft includes several of the planet’s southern jet streams. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/)An international team of astronomers just measured Jupiter’s raging stratospheric winds for the very first time—and they used a 25-year-old comet to do it.Scientists had already measured wind speeds down in Jupiter’s troposphere—where the planet’s iconic stripes lie—and way up in its ionosphere. But this new study was first to take wind speed measurements of Jupiter’s stratosphere using the incredibly sensitive Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). They measured wind speeds near the equator and near the poles.Some results w
