The signal was detected from exoplanet Beta Pictoris b, 63 light-years from Earth, and is believed to be driven by massive auroras. This discovery was made using the MeerKAT radio telescope array in South Africa.Why it mattersThe detection of a radio signal from an exoplanet marks a significant breakthrough in the field of exoplanetary research. Over 6,300 exoplanets have been confirmed circling host stars beyond our solar system, but this is the first time a direct signal has been detect
