Don't hold your breath. 1) there is doubt about the quality of the radio detection 2) the same group of authors have been promoting this for years 3) Nature Astronomy, not Nature proper

Source on these doubts? This discovery is backed by the Royal Astronomical Society and MIT, which seems to imply the observations have been sound.

#3 doesn’t mean much either way. The main Nature journal may be the most prestigious and impactful in science, but the common joke is that only half of the results in it are real.
