New Model Explains Giant Planet Jet Streams

New Model Explains Giant Planet Jet Streams
By Laurence Tognetti, MSc (https://ift.tt/3xozZWw)

What can equatorial jet streams on gas giant planets teach scientists about gas giant planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the mechanisms of jet streams on gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and ice giants (Uranus and Neptune). This study has the potential to help scientists better understand not only the formation and evolution of giant planets in our solar system, but exoplanets, too.
