    As far as impressing your potential new boss goes, discovering a planet on day three of your internship at NASA is up there.

    That's what happened to 17-year-old Wolf Cukier while helping out at the space agency in the United States.

    He was checking images from its super-strength satellite when he noticed something strange.

    It turned out to be a new planet, 1,300 light years away from Earth. News just confirmed by NASA.

    That's some achievement to kickstart your placement and career with. Where do you go from there though?! :D

    You get selected to go down the caves when it turns out to be on a collision course with Earth. :pac:



    (Yeah, yeah, a tad unlikely with an exoplanet).
