"Telescope Typo Uncovers Faintest Galaxy in Known Universe"

Scientists accidentally discovered a possibly faintest galaxy, J0613+52, after making a typo in telescope coordinates, leading to the observation of an isolated and unrecorded dark primordial galaxy made entirely of spread-out gas and devoid of visible stars. Estimated to be 260 million light-years away, the galaxy's lack of neighbors and diffuse gas make it particularly difficult to detect, and further observations are needed to determine its size, structure, and origins. The discovery could provide insights into star and galaxy formation in the universe.
