I have another question because it wouldn't fit. Is a micro-lensing event 
viewable from earth? i have google earth installed in my computer and today 
(december 7) it showed that a micro-lensing event happened in the 
constellation saggitarius. since this isn't viewable in the winter, would it 
happen long enough for me to see it next summer?
