Interesting story Martin,

If they can find planets in other Galaxy's, should be getting easier to find them in our MilkyWay!

Finding planets in Andromeda Galaxy M31.....
We could consider this a milestone in interstellar exploration. 
A considerable step beyond.
It is awesome to think how precise and accurate are the tools for astronomers, when they can spot an exo-planet in our neighbourhood galaxy.
Simply fascinating.
Thanks for the link.
