Extra-galactic planet discovered
A planet formed within another galaxy has been discovered for the first time. Skip related content
The Jupiter-sized world orbits a star that was drawn into our own galaxy, the Milky Way, six to nine billion years ago.
It inhabits the Helmi stream, a group of stars that originally belonged to a neighbouring dwarf galaxy.
Gravity eventually caused the dwarf to be devoured by the Milky Way in an act of "galactic cannibalism".
