> To calculate the wind speed on WASP-127b, the team tracked how fast molecules in the planet's atmosphere moved using the 'Very Large Telescope' (VLT) located in the south American country of Chile.
Could you provide anymore insight into how this was achieved? Any interesting challenges associated with the measurement? What are the practical limitations of this methodology? How did you pick the planet as a target to measure?
None of these questions are necessary, I'm just genuinely curious if you could provide any insight
