    *Description*: HST ACS/HRC B, V, I composite of microlensing target OGLE-2003-BLG-235/MOA-2003-BLG-53. Technical facts about this news release: About the Object Object Name: OGLE-2003-BLG-235L/MOA-2003-BLG-53L Object Description: Planetary Host Star Position (J2000): R.A. 18h 05m 16s.36 Dec. -28° 53' 42".0 Constellation: Sagittarius Distance: 19,000 light-years (5.8 kiloparsecs) About the Data Data Description: This image was created from HST data from proposals 10426 I. Bond (Massey University), D. Bennett (University of Notre Dame), M. Jaroszynski (Warsaw University), B. Paczynski (Princeton University), N. Rattenbury (University of Manchester), A. Udalski (Warsaw University), and P. Yock (University of Auckland). The science team comprises D. Bennett (University of Notre Dame), J. Anderson (Rice University), I. Bond (Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand), A. Udalski (Warsaw University Observatory), and A. Gould (Ohio State University) Instrument: ACS/HRC Exposure Date(s): May 1, 2005 Exposure Time: 2.3 hours Filters: F435W("B"), F555W("V"), F814W("I") About the Image Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and D. Bennett (University of Notre Dame) Release Date: August 8, 2006 Color This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope using several different filters. Three filters sample broad wavelength ranges, one isolates the light of hydrogen. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: F814W ("I") red F555W ("V") green F435W ("B") blue Orientation: Identification of Exoplanet Host Star [ http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2006/38/images/b/formats/compass_large_web.jpg ] *News Release Number:*: STScI-2006-38c
