The observed positions of quasars are fluctuated due to the gravitational lensing of the matters in our galaxy. The magnitude of fluctuation due to stars and MACHOs is of the order of a few micro-arc second (μas) ∼ 10 μas and its time scale is of the order of a few years ∼ hundreds years (Hosokawa et al. 1997). Such fluctuation will reflects the nature of the constituents, both visible and invisible, of our galaxy.
