Astronomers have discovered stars forming in a remote region of the Milky Way not thought possible before.

The stars were seen in a cloud of molecular gas 16,000 light-years below the flattened disc of our galaxy - further than any others ever seen.

And if any planets were to form around these stars, inhabitants would see the entire glory of the spiral galaxy above them in their night sky.
The amazing discovery - led by Dr Denilso Camargo of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Alegre, Brazil - marks the first time that star-forming clusters that are part of the Milky Way have been found this far from our galaxy.
