About this world

MOA-2010-BLG-328L b is a sub-Neptune orbiting MOA-2010-BLG-328L, a star 2.64 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 3 times the size of Earth (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 9.2 Earth masses.

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

It was discovered in 2013 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
