TL;DR Summary

Astronomers have discovered a galaxy, J0613+52, that appears to be devoid of stars but rich in dark matter and gas. This "dark" galaxy is a low surface brightness galaxy, which is dwarf-like and irregular in shape, with dark matter dominating its composition. The presence of such galaxies sheds light on the distribution of dark matter in the universe and challenges conventional understanding of star formation. Further observations using advanced instruments are needed to unravel the mysteries surrounding this primordial dark matter galaxy and similar objects.
