NASA\'s Spitzer Space Telescope has teamed up with a telescope on the ground to find a remote gas planet about 13,000 light years away, making it one of the most distant planets known. \"We do not know if planets are more common in our galaxy\'s central bulge or the disk of the galaxy which is why these observations are so important,\" said Jennifer Yee of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Washington: NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has teamed up with a telescope on the ground to find a remote gas planet about 13,000 light years away, making it one of the most distant planets known. "We do not know if planets are more common in our galaxy's central bulge or the disk of the galaxy which is why these observations are so important," said Jennifer Yee of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. The discovery demonstrates that Spitzer -- from its unique perch in space -- can be used to help solve the puzzle of how planets are distributed throughout our flat, spiral-shaped Milky Way galaxy.
