HOUSTON, Texas, June 23 (TNSRes) -- Rice University issued the following news release:
We can't detect them yet, but radio signals from distant solar systems could provide valuable information about the characteristics of their planets.
A paper by Rice University scientists describes a way to better determine which exoplanets are most likely to produce detectable signals based on magnetosphere activity on exoplanets' previously discounted nightsides.
