New observations of a great big cosmic collision provide the best evidence
yet that invisible and mysterious dark matter really does exist.
The collision, between two huge clusters of galaxies, is the "most energetic
cosmic event, besides the Big Bang, that we know about," said Maxim
Markevitch of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge,
Mass.
The impact split normal matter and dark matter apart, rendering the dark
matter's gravitational signature observable.
Scientists announced the discovery Monday in a teleconference with
reporters.

Fascinating. String Theory suggests there's lots of stuff
happening right under our noses which we can't see or detect
in any way.
