OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c
OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c is a cold gas giant orbiting the G star OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L in the constellation Sagittarius. It lies about 14,351 light-years from Earth and was discovered in 2022 using the microlensing method.
Is OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c in the Habitable Zone?
The position of OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c relative to the habitable zone of OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L cannot be precisely determined from the available orbital data.
Orbit and Year Length
OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c orbits at an average distance of 2.770 AU.
How Was OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c Discovered?
OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c was discovered in 2022 using the microlensing method, with observations from OGLE.
Gravitational microlensing detects a planet when its host star passes in front of a more distant background star, and the planet's gravity adds a brief, telltale spike to the magnified starlight. It can find planets thousands of light-years away.
How Far Away Is OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c?
OGLE-2019-BLG-0468L c is 14,350.9 light-years (4,400.0 parsecs) from Earth. Light arriving here tonight left the planet about 14,351 years ago. A probe traveling at the speed of Voyager 1 — about 17 km/s, the fastest outbound spacecraft ever launched — would need roughly 252,575,840 years to make the journey.
