Expected vs. observed microlensing events by massive objects toward the Large Magellanic Cloud as seen through the Milky Way halo. If the dark matter in the Universe consisted of putative primordial black holes, over 500 microlensing events would be detected during the OGLE survey in the years 2001-2020. In reality, the OGLE project registered only 13 detections of microlensing events, most likely caused by regular stars. Credit: J. Skowron / OGLE.
