DescriptionAstronomers already suspect the existence of extragalactic planets—objects located beyond the Milky Way. Some candidates have been identified using the Chandra telescope and other observatories, but there is no official confirmation of their status as planets yet. Confirmation will require direct observations or repeatable transits recorded by reputable scientific institutions.
ConditionsThe answer will be "Yes" if, by December 31, 2026, NASA, ESA, or other recognized scientific organizations officially announce confirmation of the existence of the first extragalactic planet.
The answer will be "No" if no such confirmation is made by that date.
