Gravitational Microlensing. Gravitational microlensing relies on chance events where from our viewpoint, one star passes in front of another star. The farther star is usually a bright star, and the near one is normally one we couldn't ordinarily see from Earth. When it passes in front of the farther star, however, its gravity causes the light from the farther star to bend and the star is magnified from our point of view.
