'Alien' planet detected circling dying star

Astronomers claim to have discovered the first planet originating from outside our galaxy.

The Jupiter-like planet, they say, is part of a solar system which once belonged to a dwarf galaxy which was devoured by our galaxy, the Milky Way.

The star, called HIP 13044, is nearing the end of its life and is 2000 light years from Earth.
