The Q0957+561 Planet is an unconfirmed exoplanet candidate detected in the Q0957+561 quasar lensing system. In 1996, a gravitational microlensing event was observed in the quasar lensing system, which led to speculations that this anomalous fluctuation detected in image A was caused by an approximately 3 Earth mass planet passing in the line of sight between Earth and the more distant Q0957+561. Because it was a one-time alignment, this conjecture cammot be proven easily and might never be. If it exists however, this would be the most distant exoplanet at a distance of 3.7 billion light years away.
