Clusters Exhibiting Strong Evidence of Dark Matter
| Galaxy cluster | Notes |
|---|---|
| Bullet Cluster | This collision between two galaxy clusters seems to have left a dark matter cluster in the space between them. |
| Abell 520 | This is actually a collision between two galaxy clusters. The galaxies and the dark matter seems to have separated out into separate dark and light cores. |
| Abell 2142 | A collision between two massive, X-ray luminous galaxy clusters. |
| Cl 0024+17 (ClG 0024+16, ZwCl 0024+1652) |
This is a recently coalesced merger of galaxy clusters, which has resulted in a ring of dark matter around the galaxies, yet to be redistributed. |
