First hint of radio emissions collected from an exoplanet Though weak, researchers have detected what could be the first radio emissions collected from a planet outside our solar system. Image credit: Guillaume Le Louarn Unsplash This week, researchers from Cornell University detected radio bursts emanating from an exoplanet located in the constellation Boötes, 140 million light-years away from Earth. The signal could be the first radio emission collected from a planet beyond our solar system. “We present one of the first hints of detecting an exoplanet in the radio realm,” said postdoct...

Ramin Skibba, Contributor (Inside Science) -- For decades, even before the iconic Hubble telescope took flight, astronomers have been launching spacecraft into orbit in the hopes of avoiding atmospheric effects that blur images taken by telescopes on Earth. But to catch clear signals of some cosmic objects, even those orbits aren’t high enough. A group of astronomers now make the case for assembling and planting telescopes on the moon. In a series of newly published papers, they argue that our lunar neighbor, especially its far side, makes an excellent place for telescopes in the radio and ...

    Scientists suggest that there may be evolutionary parallels on the different worlds because creation tends to be economical. In what could someday lead to a confirmation of that insight, the first radio emission were collected from the magnetic field of a world beyond our solar system by monitoring signals from Constellation Bootes, with the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) radio telescope in the Netherlands. From the Tau Boötes Star System “We present one of the first hints of detecting an exoplanet in the radio realm,” said Jake Turner of the Observatoire de Paris. “The signal is fr...

Agency says planets are rocky, exist in their star's 'Goldilocks Zone' To date, more than 4,500 exoplanets have been discovered as scientists explore the universe to better understand it and perhaps find signs of life. Despite that, they've never found a radio emission emanating from any of these faraway planets. Until now. A group of researchers believes they have detected radio bursts that originated in the constellation Boötes, according to their study published in the scientific journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. In this artistic rendering of the Tau Boötes b system, the lines re...
