Dark Matter Ring Modeled around Galaxy Cluster CL0024+17

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows a massive ring of dark matter around galaxy cluster CL0024+17. We detect it by how it gravitationally magnifies faint background galaxies. This ring has no normal matter counterpart, helping astronomers understand that dark matter is distinct from the matter we can see. It is a key piece of evidence in the dark matter puzzle.
