About this world

KMT-2018-BLG-1025L b is a sub-Neptune orbiting KMT-2018-BLG-1025L, a star 21.9 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 2.3 times the size of Earth (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 6.1 Earth masses.

At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2021 by microlensing with KMTNet. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
