Magnetic fields are not a phenomenon confined to our Solar System. A recent study shows that distant exoplanets carry clear signatures of magnetism – something that had not previously been known. The findings open up new ways to study alien worlds and identify potentially habitable planets. The Universe is full of strange planets. Among the most puzzling are the so-called “ultra-hot Jupiters” – en
