Sonified: The Matter of the Bullet Cluster

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Bullet Cluster, a massive collision of galaxy clusters, provides clues to the nature of dark matter. The gravitational lensing distortions of background galaxies suggest the presence of an unseen mass. While the leading theory points to dark matter, alternative explanations involving modified gravity are also being explored.
