Radio Signals Detected From Exoplanet Beta Pictoris b

Astronomers have for the first time detected radio signals from an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b, using South Africa's MeerKAT telescope. The signals, likely from auroral emissions, allowed researchers to estimate the planet's magnetic field at roughly 1,250 gauss, thousands of times stronger than Earth's. This breakthrough offers a new method to study exoplanet habitability and star-planet interactions.
