Videos:

• Simulations of lensing as seen from an imaginary, nano-arcsecond resolution telescope.
  • Whole microlensing event (~40 days). Lens star position shown green, Einstein ring in blue, source star position (assuming no lensing) shown in red. Images of background giant star in yellow. See text for more information.
    • 1280x720 pixel MPEG4
    • 720x576 pixel broadcast-ready MPEG2
  • Zoomed inview of the two-day period covering the planetary anomaly. The planet is shown as a blue dot in front of the distorted images of the background giant star.
    • 1200x900 pixel MPEG4
    • 720x576 pixel broadcast-ready MPEG2
  • Adaptive view, showing whole (40-day) microlensing event, but zooming in and slowing down for the 2-day planetary anomaly. Planet shown as a blue dot.
    • 1280x720 pixel MPEG4
    • 720x576 pixel broadcast-ready MPEG2
  • Mosaic and all still frames from the zoomed-in planetary anomaly, 3000x3000 pixel
