This composite image in visible and x-ray light of galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, also known as the "bullet cluster," has been interpreted as being direct evidence for the existence of dark matter. | Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/M.Markevitch et al.; Optical: NASA/STScI; Magellan/U.Arizona/D.Clowe et al.; Lensing Map: NASA/STScI; ESO WFI; Magellan/U.Arizona/D.Clowe et al.
The gravity of a luminous red galaxy (LRG) has gravitationally distorted the light from a much more distant blue galaxy. More typically, such light bending results in two discernible images of the distant galaxy, but here the lens alignment is so precise that the background galaxy is distorted into a horseshoe – a nearly complete ring.

Polarized light micrograph of glucose crystals (also called dextrose): a monosaccharide carbohydrate. It is produced by plants during photosynthesis, and stored as starch. In humans it is obtained via hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. This sugar is also synthesized in the intestines, muscles, astrocytes (brain), and kidneys. It acts as a primary energy source in most organisms, from bacteria to humans, through either cellular respiration or fermentation... | Antonio Romero
