Radio Signals Detected from Exoplanet Beta Pictoris b

Harvard and University of Oregon researchers report MeerKAT telescope data showing auroral radio emissions from Beta Pictoris b, a gas giant 63 light-years away. The preprint, not yet peer-reviewed, estimates its magnetic field at roughly 1,250 gauss, thousands of times stronger than Earth's. If confirmed, it is the first direct radio detection from another world, offering a new way to study exoplanet habitability and star-planet interactions.
