The latest finding offers "a window into the dark universe,” said one of the researchers behind the groundbreaking discovery.

Scientists have identified a strange cosmic relic called Cloud-9 — a starless, gas-filled object dominated by dark matter.

An object spotted in deep space is the strongest candidate yet for a galaxy arrested during early development.

Scientists have theorized that dark matter clumps exist in staggering numbers, far more than the galaxies we see. Only clumps ...

The researchers describe Cloud-9 as a failed galaxy, a "relic" or remnant of the processes that gave rise to early galaxies. Alejandro Benitez-Llambay suggested that the ...
