Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummeling the equator of WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet. Reaching speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet. The discovery was made using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) in Chile and provides unique insights into the weather patterns of a distant world. Tornados, cyclones and hurricanes wreak havoc on Earth, but scientists have now detected planetary winds on an entirely different scale, far outside the Solar System. Ever since its discovery in 2016, astronomers have been investigating the weather on WASP-127b, a giant gas planet located over 500 light-years from Earth. The planet is slightly larger than Jupiter, but has only a fraction...

More than £60BN at stake, should invest now or pay the price The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) has issued a stark warning to the UK Government: the UK’s successful Travel & Tourism industry faces stagnation and long-term decline. On the eve of the UK Government’s first Visitor Economy Advisory Council, the global tourism body revealed data that shows £60BN is at risk over the next 10 years, in lost tourism business. While forecasts indicate short-term stability, the long-term outlook is weak as the UK loses ground to European competitors. The UK’s Travel & Tourism sector directly employs almost the same number of people as the NHS. It contributed £280BN to the UK economy in 2024 (10.3%) and supported over 4.1MN jobs (11.3%). It also contributes £100...

Qadam train station was once the pride of Syria’s capital, for some a symbol of post-war revival A train station in Damascus was once the pride of the Syrian capital, an essential link between Europe and the Arabian Peninsula during the Ottoman Empire and then a national transit hub. But more than a decade of war left it a wasteland of bullet-scarred walls and twisted steel. The Qadam station’s remaining staff say they still have an attachment to the railway and hope that it, like the country, can be revived after the swift and stunning downfall of leader Bashar Assad last month. On a recent day, train operator Mazen Malla led us through the landscape of charred train cars and workshops damaged by artillery fire. Bullet casings littered the ground. Malla grew up near the s...
