For the first time, scientists have discovered planets in galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
Using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory, a team of astrophysicists from the University of Oklahoma identified the extragalactic planets about 3.8 billion light years away. The space observatory helped scientists find about 2,000 objects with comparable mass to the Moon and Jupiter.

Actually, they discovered that those planets used to be there.

Our solar system is comparable in age. I believe scientists estimate Earth as being 4 billion years old. So there's a decent chance those planets are still there.

Not sure you have a firm grasp of cosmology. Those observations are from 3.8 billion years ago.

Maybe their super successful planets.

And poor old Pluto (the trans-Neptunian object) just gets less and less relevant....
