ESA Hubble Image: Ghostly Ring of Dark Matter

Credit: ESA/Hubble

A ghostly ring of dark matter floating in the galaxy cluster ZwCl0024+1652, one of the strongest pieces of evidence to date for the existence of dark matter. 

Astronomers think the dark-matter ring was produced from a collision between two gigantic clusters.
