However, using a precise model of gravitational lensing, the team found that the observable mass of these four giant galaxies is insufficient to explain the arrangement of the five images of the cross: their mass is simply not great enough to produce the visual effect seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThe only way to reproduce the remarkable configuration we observed was to add an invisible, massive component: a dark matter halo at the center of the galaxy group,\u201d said lead author Pierre Cox,\u00a0from the Institut d\u2019Astrophysique de Paris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The gravitational lensing not only splits the light source, but magnifies it, allowing a detailed view of the light source behind the lens.
