About this world

OGLE-2008-BLG-092L b is a Neptune-like planet orbiting OGLE-2008-BLG-092L, a star 26.4 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 0.78 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 0.18 Jupiter masses.

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

It was discovered in 2014 by microlensing with OGLE. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
