This is a picture of the matter that is found in the galaxy cluster that is named 1E 0657-56. informally, this is called the bullet cluster. This "Bullet Cluster" is 3.4 billion light years away, and you cane see it's individual galaxies in this picture. the two clouds of hot x-ray emitting gas are shown in red. Their mass is greater than all of the galaxies visible in this picture. the bullet-shaped cloud of gas at the right was distorted during the titanic collision between two galaxy clusters that created the larger bullet cluster itself. Also, this image gives evidence that dark matter exists, because of the clear seperation of dark matter and gas clouds seen in this picture.

APOD-Galactic center star clusters

This amazing image was taken using X-rays. As I learned while researching this picture, X-ray pictures of celestial objects are made by analyzing the radiation they emit or block and converting it into an image. In this case, the image is what the milky way galaxy looks like towards sagittarius. This image spans 130 light years at a distance of 26000 light years away. The center of the galaxy is located towards the bottom of the picture, as well as a massive black hole named sagittarius A.
