Extragalactic planet
An extragalactic planet, also known as an extragalactic exoplanet or an extroplanet, is a star-bound planet or rogue planet located outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Due to the immense distances to such worlds, they have been very hard to detect directly. However, indirect evidence suggests that such planets exist. Nonetheless, the most distant individually confirmed planets are SWEEPS-11 and SWEEPS-04, located in Sagittarius, approximately 27,710 light-years (8,500 parsecs) from the Sun, while the Milky Way is about 87,400 light-years (26,800 parsecs) in diameter. This means that even galactic planets located further than that distance have not been individually confirmed.
