    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...

Cornell postdoc detects possible exoplanet radio emission December 16, 2020 By monitoring the cosmos with a radio telescope array, an international team of scientists has detected radio bursts emanating from the constellation Boötes –  that could be the first radio emission collected from a planet beyond our solar system. The team, led by Cornell postdoctoral researcher Jake D. Tu...
