Weather on Distant Worlds
An artist's conception shows a gas-giant planet orbiting very close to its parent star, creating searingly hot conditions on the planet's surface. New research suggests that for three such planets lying from 50-150 light-years from Earth, strong winds thousands of miles per hour mix the atmosphere so that the temperature is relatively uniform.
