Σύνοψη	Gravitational microlensing is an observational technique that exploits Einstein's prediction that massive objects bend light. When a star or planet passes in front of a distant star from our perspective, its gravity acts as a lens, magnifying and distorting the background star's light. First proposed by Bohdan Paczynski in 1986, this method has discovered hundreds of exoplanets and provides unique sensitivity to low-mass planets and dark matter.	Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting is the technique of comparing observed photometric measurements of galaxies across many wavelengths against theoretical predictions from stellar population synthesis models. By fitting models to observations, astronomers estimate galaxy properties including redshift, mass, age, star formation rate, and dust content without requiring expensive spectroscopic observations.
