BINARY MICROLENSING OGLE-2000-BUL-38 Observations collected by OGLE during the last few nights at the Las Campanas Observatory indicate that brightness of the OGLE-2000-BUL-38 binary microlensing event began to rise indicating that the event is approaching the second caustic crossing (see also PLANET team alert on this event). It is very likely that the second caustic crossing will occur within a few next days. Follow up observations are strongly encouraged !!!
