Astrophysicists have discovered planets outside our galaxy for the first time ever.
Previously, planets have only been detected within the Milky Way.
However, by measuring an astronomical phenomenon called microlensing, scientists were able to identify a group of distant worlds using data from Nasa’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.
The newly discovered planets ranged from the size of the moon to the size of Jupiter, and their galaxy is 3.8 billion light-years away from our own.
