Hubble confirms dark starless relic cloud near galaxy M94



Paris, France (SPX) Jan 06, 2026
A team using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has identified a new type of astronomical object, a starless gas-rich dark-matter cloud considered a relic of early galaxy formation and nicknamed "Cloud-9." The object is the first confirmed example of a Reionization-Limited H I Cloud, or RELHIC, a neutral hydrogen cloud from the early universe that never formed stars. Program principal investigator Alejandro Benitez-Llambay of the Milano-Bicocca University in Milan, Italy, described Cloud-9 as "a tale o ... read more
