About this world

MOA-2010-BLG-353L b is a gas giant orbiting MOA-2010-BLG-353L, a star 21 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.99 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 0.27 Jupiter masses.

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

It was discovered in 2015 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
