Hubble Finds Ghostly Ring of Dark Matter
The most common substance in the universe is called dark matter. It doesn’t shine or reflect light. We can’t even see it. ..........
.................Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a first-hand view of how dark matter behaves during a titanic collision between two galaxy clusters. The wreck created a ripple of dark matter, which is somewhat similar to a ripple formed in a pond when a rock hits the water.
The ring's discovery is among the strongest evidence yet that dark matter exists..............
