DescriptionHubble image of the galaxy cluster Abell 3827.jpg
English: This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the rich galaxy cluster Abell 3827. The strange blue structures surrounding the central galaxies are gravitationally lensed views of a much more distant galaxy behind the cluster. Observations of the central four merging galaxies have provided hints that the dark matter around one of the galaxies is not moving with the galaxy itself, possibly implying dark matter-dark matter interactions of an unknown nature are occuring.
Русский: На снимке, полученном на Космическом телескопе Хаббла NASA/ESA – богатое скопление галактик Abell 3827. Странные голубоватые структуры, окружающие центральные галактики – гравитационно-линзированное изображение значительно более удаленной галактики, находящейся за скоплением. Наблюдения четырех сливающихся галактик (в центре снимка) свидетельствуют о том, что темная материя вокруг одной из этих галактик не движется вместе с этой галактикой, что, возможно, говорит о наличии взаимодействий неизвестной природы с участием темной материи.
