About this world

MOA-2020-BLG-135L b is a sub-Neptune orbiting MOA-2020-BLG-135L, a star 25.8 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 3.4 times the size of Earth (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 11 Earth masses.

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

It was discovered in 2022 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
