Jet Streams:
Among the more fascinating features of upper-air circulations are discontinuous bands of relatively strong winds (usually in excess of 30 metres per second) called jet streams.

JET STREAM
The jet stream is a high-speed wind that is usually found at high altitudes, between 25,000 and 45,000 feet (just below the tropopause).

Jet speed certainly isn't the answer. Imagine traveling by jet to the moon from Earth, about 386,000 km (240,000 miles). A jet traveling at 1,600 km/h (1,000 mph) would take about 240 hours or about 40 days to reach the moon.
jet A highly directed flow of matter, or radiation that comes from such a flow.
A jet is introduced with a perscribed flow speed and an internal magnetic field. The surroundings are at rest and are also permeated by a magnetic field but with a different field strength.

The jet stream is a belt or band of rapidly moving air from 50,000 feet in altitude, or above, crossing the mid-latitudes of the U.S. Actually, there are two jet streams. One in the far northern U.S.
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory designed and developed the Galileo Jupiter orbiter spacecraft and is operating the mission. NASA's Ames Research Center developed the atmospheric probe with Hughes Aircraft Company as prime contractor.
The jet passed through the outer shell of the star and, in conjunction with vigorous winds of newly forged radioactive nickel-56 blowing off the disk inside, shattered the star.

The jet stream contributes to turbulence both directly through its high velocity movement against lower atmospheric layers, and indirectly through the quantity of cold or moist air it brings from northern latitudes and ocean surfaces, ...
The jet on the top side is about 0.2 light-years from the star at its farthest extent, and is pointed nearly in our direction. The opposite jet on the bottom lies on the farther side of the star.

Where a jet engine on an airplane obtains its oxidizer for combustion directly from the atmosphere, a rocket carries its own oxidizer and can operate outside the atmosphere. Otherwise, their basic operating principle is the same.

Eventually, the jet is slowed and stopped by the intergalactic medium, the flow becomes turbulent, and the magnetic field grows tangled. The result is a giant radio lobe, like those pictured in Figures 25.6"25.

(Some but not all Sun-grazing nuclei split under solar tidal forces.) Finally, argued Whipple, the asymmetric vaporization of the nuclear ices sunward produces a jet action opposite to the Sun on the solid cometary nucleus.
If a jet plane were 30 feet from you and it went by it would obviously look like it was moving fast, but when it is 30,000 feet up it appears to be just inching along.
Alternate jet streams of east-west and west-east circulation can be traced in the motions of the cloud tops, the speeds of these jet streams reach speeds of hundreds of metres per second, they are the cause of the banded appearance of the clouds.
Detail of the Triffid Nebula: the thin column pointing to the left is a jet of material emerging from a very young star hidden inside the cloud of gas and dust. The visible part of the jet is about one light year long. (© Hubble Space Telescope).
Using a pressurized-gas, jet-maneuvering device, he spent 21 min in space. While Gemini 6 and 7 were in orbit together in December 1965, they rendezvoused within a few feet of each other. After orbiting for 20 hr, Gemini 6 with Schirra and Maj.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory has a site called The Space Place that has a number of activities geared for elementary school kids (so you teachers or prospective teachers should look it over!).

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory took the first astronomical CCD image of Uranus in 1975. Since then the technology has been refined and come to dominate professional astronomical applications of imaging, spectroscopy, photometry and astrometry.

His golden chariot was pulled by four jet-black horses. While he used the chariot to periodically visit the Upperworld, in order to seduce a beautiful nymph, he rarely wished the relationship to last.
What looks like a green intergalactic monster below the spiral galaxy in this picture is really a big cloud of gas and dust lit up by a jet of energy from a supermassive black hole.
Flight training takes place in the jet aircraft that are designed to perform in the same way as a space shuttle during landing. Candidates also have survival training in case the shuttle has an emergency landing in water or in the wilderness.

A geyser is a jet of hot liquid or gas that shoots from a crack in the crust of a planet or moon.

A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon.
A BL Lac object is a radio galaxy aligned so that we are looking down the jet into the very heart of the system, right into the nucleus. Since we are looking right along the jet we see very rapid, highly luminous radiation.
