    [Interview] Detecting Earth-Size Exoplanets with Magnetospheres Apr 19, 2023
    Show notes

    Magnetospheres seem to be a very important factor when considering how habitable a planet is. So it was really exciting when it was announced that an Earth-size exoplanet's magnetosphere was detected using radio telescopes. It can also be a method to look for exoplanets by detecting their magnetic fields.

    I'm discussing this discovery with Dr Joe Pesce who is the Program Director at National Science Foundation.

    More about the discovery:
