The Jupiter-like planet orbits a star that was born in another galaxy and later captured by our own Milky Way sometime between 6 billion and 9 billion years ago, researchers said.

Now, however, a planet with a minimum mass 1.25 times that of Jupiter has been discovered orbiting a star of extragalactic origin, even though the star now finds itself within our own galaxy.

Astronomers have spotted a massive young star in a neighboring galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud. The star is surrounded by a disk where planets may form.
