But they appear as developed as our Milky Way — far further along than researchers expected.

It has a similar size as Earth, but is much hotter and completes its orbit around its star in two days.

Since it began collecting data, it has captured - in stunning detail - previously unobservable stars, planets and galaxies.

It’s all quite incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped lead the observations.
