Scientists Detect First Radio Signals Directly From Faraway Planet

It comes from something called an exoplanet 63.4 light years (or about 372,704,848,659,841 miles) away from Earth. Scientists are busy studying the data, but in true DX fashion, the signal faded away right before the station I.D. 

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

These people on the exoplanet truly understand and appreciate the power and reach of AM radio!

I hope a return CQ was sent requesting a QSL and a station transmitter tour.

I hear this exoplanet radio station is pretty good, except for the bloody Oliver jewelry ads.
