Astronomical object Cloud-9 !
Astronomers operating the Hubble Space Telescope have announced the identification of Cloud-9, a starless cosmic cloud dominated by dark matter located 14 million light-years away, a discovery that expands our understanding of the invisible structures of the Universe.
Located near the spiral galaxy Messier 94, Cloud-9 represents the first observational confirmation of an object classified as RELHIC, which until then was only theoretical.
RELHICs are clouds of neutral hydrogen that failed to form stars due to a lack of mass or density, despite the significant presence of dark matter.
