About this world
MOA-2022-BLG-033L b is a sub-Neptune orbiting MOA-2022-BLG-033L, a yellow-white F-type star (type F7V) 6 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 3.5 times the size of Earth (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 12 Earth masses.
At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.
It was discovered in 2025 by microlensing with MOA. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
