A planet 63 light-years away is sending repeating radio bursts, and scientists can read them for the first time. Heres what it reveals about the alien world

Astronomers detected repeating radio bursts from exoplanet Beta Pictoris b. These emissions originate from powerful auroras on the distant world. The signals provide a rare direct measurement of the planet's magnetic field. Scientists calculated Beta Pictoris b possesses a magnetic field stronger than Earth's. This discovery offers a new method to study exoplanet magnetic environments.
