Radio signals detected from exoplanet Beta Pictoris b
Original: beta pictoris b
Astronomers report the first detection of radio signals coming from Beta Pictoris b, a giant exoplanet about 63 light-years away orbiting the star Beta Pictoris. The detection, made with radio telescopes, is being described as a breakthrough because radio emissions from planets outside our Solar System are extremely faint and rarely captured, opening a new way to study distant worlds.
Why now: News that radio emissions from an exoplanet have been detected for the first time is a major astronomy breakthrough generating wide search interest.
