Radio waves reportedly traced directly to exoplanet Beta Pictoris b for the first time
A post says astronomers used South Africa’s MeerKAT array to trace repeating radio bursts to Beta Pictoris b, a gas giant about 64 light-years away, and links the bursts to auroras.
TLDR
One post says the radio bursts from Beta Pictoris b would provide the first direct measurement of an exoplanet’s magnetic field. Another says the signal appears to come from auroras, not aliens, and that the detection, if confirmed, could offer a new way to study other planets.
