 An image of the bullet cluster taken by NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope. Scientists claimed the image was proof of normal matter (pink) being separated from dark matter (blue). Another group now says the observations can be explained by a modified gravity of theory, and that dark matter is unnecessary.
