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

How do you find a galaxy that never formed? The standard cosmological model predicts the existence of "failed" galaxies - clumps of dark matter that captured gas but never birthed a star. Because they ...

Astronomers from Serbia and Russia have conducted deep optical observations of a cloud of neutral atomic hydrogen, designated FAST J0139+4328. Results of the observational campaign, published December ...
