There is not much solid information known about planets in other galaxies. Most planets discovered so far are in our own galaxy. This is because it is easier to discover a relatively near-by planet than one that is much farther away. However, the planets found so far make it likely that in our own Milky Way, and therefore other galaxies as well, have at least as many planets as stars.
