Image title	This composite image shows the galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, also known as the"bullet cluster", formed after the collision of two large clusters ofgalaxies. Hot gas detected by Chandra is seen as two pink clumps in theimage and contains most of the "normal" matter in the two clusters. Anoptical image from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope shows galaxiesin orange and white. The blue clumps show where most of the mass in theclusters is found, using a technique known as gravitational lensing. Mostof the matter in the clusters (blue) is clearly separate from the normalmatter (pink), giving direct evidence that nearly all of the matter in theclusters is dark. This result cannot be explained by modifying the laws ofgravity.
