No, the actual story is that we've discovered a very ancient planet around a very ancient star, some 2,000 light years away, that billion of years ago
was in a dwarf galaxy that merged with the milky way galaxy.

It's of interest to cosmologists but as relevant to our solar system as a small piece of burnt toast is to the number of grains of sand on Bondi
Beach.
The importance of this discovery is that it's the first planet to be discovered that originally comes from another galaxy to our own. That's
all.
