    Though NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was initially touted as having the power to unveil our universe's furthest horizons — and it surely has — some of the observatory's most gorgeous images are actually ones of our very own solar system.

    Images the observatory took of the gas giant last year have managed to show us brand new things about its moons, atmosphere and rings. (Yes, Jupiter has rings too!)

    Basically, after examining images the JWST captured of Jupiter in 2022, a team of researchers realized there's a high-speed jet stream on the planet that's more than 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) wide and traveling at about 320 mph (515 kph.)

    This is something that has never been seen before.

    Researchers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) have discovered a high-speed jet stream sitting over Jupiter's equator, above the main cloud decks.

    At a wavelength of 2.12 microns, which observes between altitudes of about 12-21 miles (20-35 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, researchers spotted several wind shears, or areas where wind speeds change with height or with distance, which enabled them to track the jet.
