"Discovery of a Dark, Starless Galaxy by West Virginia Observatory"

Astronomers have discovered a potential dark, primordial galaxy, J0613+52, which contains a large amount of neutral hydrogen gas but no detectable stars. This isolated and diffuse object challenges current understanding of galaxy formation and raises questions about the existence of pristine, star-free galaxies in the modern Universe. The discovery offers a unique opportunity to study a cosmic structure that may resemble the earliest galaxies, providing valuable insights into the Universe's early history and the formation of galaxies. Further observations and surveys are planned to investigate this intriguing object and search for other dark galaxy candidates.
