Astronomers Detect Radio Signal From Beta Pictoris b, Opening a New Window on Exoplanet Magnetism
Astronomers have reported what they describe as the first direct radio signal detected from an exoplanet, originating from Beta Pictoris b, a giant world orbiting a young star about 63 light-years from Earth. The finding could give scientists a new way to study planetary magnetic fields, atmospheric escape, and the long-term habitability of planets beyond the solar system.
