OGLE-2013-BLG-0341LBb, is located in the constellation Sagittarius, about 3,000 light-years away. It is twice the mass of Earth, and orbits one of the stars in the binary system at almost exactly the same distance from which Earth orbits the Sun.
But its star is 400 times dimmer than our Sun, so the exoplanet is very cold – around minus 213 degrees Celsius.
