Planets In Other Galaxies


Question:  Do we know of any planets in other galaxies that we have found?
matthew e weisseg

Answer:  No. That will require an improvement by a factor 1000 or more in the
capabilities of our telescopes. The only other possibility is that such a planet 
is peopled by an intelligent and technologically advanced species and they send
us a radio signal . . .
