Why do people always overlook this pulsar? Its planets are not only the first confirmed, but also the most freakish by far.

Wikipedia gives 7e−05MJ as the mass of PSR 1257+12 A, which would make it about one one hundred and thirty-fifth as massive as MOA-2007-BLG-192Lb. It also gives a discovery date of 1992.
Strange planets! Presumably they formed after the supernova. They are surely too close to the primary to have survived its red giant phase, let alone the supernova.
