Radio signal detected from planet around Beta Pictoris
Original: beta pictoris
Astronomers have, for the first time, detected a radio signal coming from a planet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris, about 63 light years from Earth. Italian science outlets report the finding as a milestone, since picking up radio emissions from an exoplanet could open a new way to study magnetic fields and planetary systems beyond our own.
Why now: A first-ever radio detection from an exoplanet is a significant astronomical milestone.
