Scientists May Have Discovered a Massive Starless Galaxy
Astronomers may be one step closer to solving a long-standing mystery with the discovery of a massive galaxy made up entirely of hydrogen, rather than stars. This enormous galaxy is estimated to contain around 2 billion times the mass of our sun in hydrogen. It's unclear what other properties this galaxy might have.
Why it's good news: It could provide scientists with valuable insights and potentially new understanding into the formation and evolution of galaxies.
