see Bullet Cluster... it provides the BEST direct evidence of dark matter and

is spectacular.

&#160;

see overview. &#160;great explanation... &#160;the stars in both galaxies do NOT interact and

neither does the dark matter. &#160;&#160;The dark matter's &#160;distribution (location) as judged by

gravit. lensing seems to be where the regular matter is. &#160;&#160;It is expected to be where the

gas is (the gas is left behind because the gas clouds interact using EM.

The fact that most of the lensing is located near the regular (star) matter suggests that

it is collisionless &#160;(no EM interaction)... just like the stars.</p>
