It's hard to imagine a galaxy without stars, but just such an object may be lurking about 15 million light-years away. Cloud-9 contains about a million times the mass of the Sun in hydrogen gas, but even very deep imaging failed to reveal any clear starlight. Cosmological models predict that such small halos of gas and dark matter should be abundant in the universe, although they are extremely difficult to detect. The new observations make Cloud…
