Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:The Hubble Telescope has discovered the very first Reionization-Limited H I Cloud (RELHIC). Nicknamed Cloud-9, this new astronomical object is a dark matter-dominated cloud that essentially failed to form into a galaxy due to a lack of gas. The discovery of this long-theorized object will offer fresh insights into the early Universe and provide valuable information about the physics of dark matter. Cloud-9 is a dark matter-dominated cloud that appears to be a natal hydrogen cloud from the early universe that failed to form into a galaxy. But the object could still aspire to galactic greatness if it ever accumulates enough mass, collapses, and begins forming stars.
