Meet OGLE-2018-BLG-0567L b, a mysterious exoplanet discovered in 2021 using the clever technique of microlensing by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE). This cosmic wanderer orbits the star OGLE-2018-BLG-0567L and was spotted thanks to the OGLE CCD Array, a powerful ground-based instrument that peers into the dense star fields of our galaxy. Though it may lack an official proper name, OGLE-2018-BLG-0567L b is part of the exciting family of worlds found through microlensing, where gravity itself acts like a cosmic magnifying glass to reveal hidden planets. It's a reminder that even when planets seem elusive, astronomers have some truly brilliant tricks up their sleeves to bring these distant worlds into the spotlight!
