MOA-2012-BLG-006L is a Sun-like G-type star (about 0.49 solar masses, 5,778 K), 5,300 light-years from Earth. MOA-2012-BLG-006L b is a 8.40-Jupiter-mass companion, at 10.2 AU from its star, discovered in 2017 via microlensing. Microlensing detections occur when a foreground star's gravity briefly magnifies a background source, revealing planets that are otherwise too faint and distant to observe directly. MOA-2012-BLG-006L b orbits far from its host star. At 8.4 Jupiter masses, the companion lies near the dividing line between giant planets and brown dwarfs. At roughly 5,300 light-years, MOA-2012-BLG-006L lies far beyond the nearest stars yet remains reachable to large survey telescopes.
