Astronomers discover exoplanets with magnetic fields

These exoplanets each orbit very close to a large and hot star, with one side permanently ​facing the star and the other side perpetually facing away, as the moon does with Earth.

The location (circled) of a star residing near the edge of a supernova remnant situated 15,000 light-years from Earth, that cycles in radio wave intensity every 44 minutes, placing it into the category of celestial objects called long period radio transients, is seen in this image released on May 28, 2025.
