MOA-2007-BLG-192Lb, occasionally shortened to MOA-192 b,[2] is an extrasolar planet approximately 7,000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. The planet was discovered orbiting the low-mass star MOA-2007-BLG-192L. It was found when it caused a gravitational microlensing event on May 24, 2007, which was detected as part of the MOA-II microlensing survey at the Mount John University Observatory in New Zealand.[3]

The mass of the planet is not well-known. It is anything between 2.75 and 105 Earth masses (ME), although it is more likely to be between 3 and 12 ME. The mass range also means that the planet's classification varies, from a Super-Earth to a Sub-Saturn. It is located at 2.02 astronomical units from its host star.[1]

MOA-2007-BLG-192L is a red dwarf star, one of the smallest and least massive type of stars, as well as one of the most numerous in the Milky Way.[4] It was initially estimated to have a mass 6% the mass of the Sun, which would probably be too low to sustain nuclear fusion at its core, making it a dimly glowing brown dwarf.[5] However, this mass was based on an erroneous parallax, and a further analysis suggest a higher mass of 0.24 M☉. This would make it a red dwarf.[1]

Both MOA-2007-BLG-192L and its planet are located at a distance of 2,160 pc (7,000 ly) from Earth,[1] in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius.[a]
