The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) started at Las Campanas Observatory in 1992 with a pilot monitoring programme of two million stars in the Galactic Bulge. It is still operating today, collecting time-domain photometric data of a billion stars from the densest regions in the southern sky. Among its main achievements are discoveries of thousands of microlensing events, a few dozen extrasolar planets and candidates for black holes, a million variable stars, and thousands of quasars and supernovæ. It has made a major contribution to the studies of the dark-matter content of the Milky Way halo, the structure of the Galactic Bulge, the Magellanic Clouds, and new classes of variable stars. In this its 25th anniversary year, we presented a selection of the major scientific highlights of OGLE.
