Mikromedas OGLE-2005BLG-390Lb

Theme of this series, which is in an ongoing state, is the voyage from earth to exoplanet OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb at a distance of approximately 21500 +- 3300 lightyears from earth. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb is a so called super earth exoplanet situated close to the center of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb orbits it’s star OGLE-2005-BLG-390 approximately every 10 years (3500 earth days). It was first discovered in 2005 using the technique of gravitational micro lensing. Gravitational lensing in general is caused by light beams that are being bent by the gravitational fields of various astrophysical objects such as stars or even planets. As OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb lies close to the center of the Milkey Way a journey to the exoplanet shows a lot of similarites to the center of our Milkey Way namely Sagittarius A* which is a believed to be a supermassive black hole with a mass greater that 4 million times the mass of our sun.

Global description of a possible journey:

Rough route map:

  1. Solar system:
    Journey trough solar system starting from earth passing various planets.
  2. Oort cloud:
    Crossing region between our solar system and deep space at a distance between 2000 and 50000 AU1 from sun. Recent studies show it to be a remnant of the protoplanetary disc that was formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago
  3. Rho Ophiuchi:
    One of the closest star formation regions in the galaxy towards our solar system
  4. M22 (Messier 22): globular cluster at distance of about 10600 light years from earth
  5. M28 (Messier 28): globular cluster at distance of about 17900 light years from earth
  6. M9 (Messier 9): globular cluster at distance of 25900 light years from earth close to the center of our Milky Way
  7. Arrival at OGLBE-2005-BLG-390Lb
