PASADENA, California, July 24 -- The California Institute of Technology issued the following news:
Astronomers have untangled a messy collision between two massive clusters of galaxies in which the clusters' vast clouds of dark matter have decoupled from the so-called normal matter.

As they plowed through each other, the dark matter--an invisible substance that feels the forc . . .
