An international team of scientists has collected the first possible radio signal from a planet beyond our solar system, emanating from an exoplanet system about 51 light-years away. Using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), a radio telescope in the Netherlands, the researchers uncovered emission bursts from the Tau Bootes star-system hosting a so-called hot Jupiter, a gaseous giant planet that is very close to its own sun.

As per study published in the journal of Astronomy & Astrophysics say that a team of scientists received the first signal from exoplanet 51 light-years away.
In another extensive search for possible alien life, a team of scientists at Cornell University in the US for the first time has collected a potential radio signal from a planet beyond our solar system. This first possible radio signal from the aliens is believed to be emanating from an exoplanet system about 51-light years away. Using the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR), a radioactive telescope in the Netherlands, the scientists have uncovered emissions from the Tau Bootes start-system hosting a so-called hot Jupiter, which is a gaseous giant planet that is very close to its own sun.
