Rilevati in Sudafrica dei segnali radio che sembrano provenire da un pianeta al di fuori del Sistema Solare. Calma: non sono trasmissioni aliene ma probabili segnali dovuti alla presenza di aurore

📡 Astronomers have detected radio signals coming directly from an exoplanet for the first time. No, it’s #notaliens. Using the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, researchers detected repeating radio bursts from Beta Pictoris b, a young giant planet about 63 light-years

Also, final note if you've read this far- Kevin actually became my student after reading my Reddit post That's really impressive. I tell people all the time in another life I would have been an astronomer but didn't have the funding or the knowledge support needed for that sort of responsibility (and if push came to shove I'm not sure I'd have the…

this is all super awesome and, as usual, lovely to read! i hope you guys get your requested time, i remember the first time i learnt about magnetospheres and the rabbit hole it took me down, and the idea that we can measure anything of them in another system is wild and i wish we - as a species - would just throw more investment into the absurdly…

Cool science. Not aliens. QT Yvette Cendes @ whereisyvette 2026 September 21 If @science.org is covering it, I guess I should share something here- we have for the first time definitively detected radio emission from a planet around another star! What does this mean? Details in thread! (But TL;DR- still not aliens) https://www…

RIP SETI’s Arecibo’s array . ironic that news of its destruction was lost in all the signal-to-noise of all the news stories happening at the time. it would have ruled to focus that radiotelescope that way

Radio waves from an extrasolar star system have been localized to a planet in that system for the first time. The radio emissions are produced by charged particles interacting with the gas giant's strong magnetic field.

Any aliens who ever sent out a "hello" broadcast probably caught up with that shit and deleted it before it ever got anywhere when they sobered up.

So, what does all this mean? What are the implications? Say we map 10,000 planets, what does that tell us?
