About this world
MOA-2010-BLG-477L b is a gas giant orbiting MOA-2010-BLG-477L, a yellow, Sun-like star 7.5 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 1.5 Jupiter masses.
At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2012 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
