A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres.
YZ Ceti b is too close to its star to be able to host life but finding a magnetic field outside of our solar system could be a game changer in the search for life.
