Astronomers just spotted an “Impossible” planet: Elias 2-24 b is the youngest known planet, and its Jupiter-sized growth could challenge planet formation models Elias 2-24 b is young enough that astronomers are seeing it before its planetary neighborhood has finished taking shape. Yet the planet is already roughly Jupiter-sized. It orbits about 55 times the Earth-Sun distance, far out in a disk where assembling such a massive world should be difficult and slow.… The Economic Times · Sep 22
Astronomers Detect the First Direct Radio Signal From an Exoplanet but Disappoint Alien Enthusiasts Researchers using South Africa's MeerKAT array say they have directly traced auroral radio emissions to Beta Pictoris b, offering a preliminary measurement of the exoplanet's magnetic field. International Business Times UK · Sep 22
A planet 63 light-years away is sending repeating radio bursts, and scientists can read them for the first time. Here’s 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.

The Conversation · Sep 22 How do animals sense the Earth’s magnetic field? Scientists have known for more than 60 years that animals can sense the Earth’s magnetic field, and there is a wealth of behavioural evidence supporting their use of this cue as a navigation mechanism. But despite this evidence, there’s no consensus as to how animals actually sense the magnetic field.
The Guardian - US · Sep 22 Using AI to ‘talk to animals’ might make us feel clever – but what, if anything, does it do for them? As animal behaviorists increasingly use AI in their research, they grapple with how to wield the technology responsibly
