Recently, a team of astronomers used data from the Hubble Space Telescope to search for signs of a magnetic field on an exoplanet. Its findings were described in the journal Nature Astronomy. A magnetic field around the planet explains the observation of an extended field of charged carbon particles. Magnetic fields play an important role in protecting the planet’s atmosphere. Researchers used Hubble to observe the exoplanet HAT-P-11b. It is a Neptune-sized planet, located at a distance of 123 light years from Earth. The outer planets are the planets outside our solar system. The first possible evidence of an outhouse
