"Unveiling the Enigmatic Shadows: Astronomers Uncover an Almost Dark Galaxy"
Astronomers have discovered a new almost dark galaxy called "Nube" through deep optical imagery from the IAC Stripe 82 Legacy Project. Nube has a very low surface brightness and is as massive as the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is located 350 million light years away and has a stellar mass of about 390 million solar masses. Nube is the most massive and extended galaxy of its kind detected so far, with extreme properties that raise questions about its origin and nature.
