EDIT: Oh look, proof positive of Dark Matter, also via BoingBoing. I expect I'll summarize it wrong, but the idea is that they found a situation where the bulk of the visible matter in two galactic clusters basically hit a brick wall and stopped, while the real center of mass, composed of dark matter, kept on moving. The result is that the two were neatly separated out, giving them a chance to measure dark matter in relative isolation.
