Science News, Nov 4, 2006 by Shawn Simpson
I won't state that "dark matter" hasn't been discovered. However I disagree that empirical evidence for it is demonstrated in this collision ("Enlightened: Dark matter spotted after cosmic crash," SN: 8/26/06, p. 131). Other phenomena that could explain the images include excitation of preexisting gases or imaging artifacts. Nowhere in the article does it state that the mass of "dark matter" was actually observed passing unimpeded through the normal matter or other "dark matter."
