The European Space Agency (ESA) star mapping Gaia spacecraft has discovered two new Jupiter-like planets in remote solar systems within the Milky Way galaxy. The development marks the first time that the Gaia spacecraft successfully detected new planets. Gaia is a star-surveying satellite on a mission to chart a 3D map of the Milky Way with unprecedented accuracy.
