Ein Team, das das Hubble-Weltraumteleskop nutzt, hat die Entdeckung eines völlig neuen Himmelsobjekts im Universum mit dem Titel „Cloud-9“ bekannt gegeben. Es handelt sich um eine sternenlose, gasreiche Wolke aus dunkler Materie, die als „Relikt“ oder Überbleibsel der frühen Galaxienentstehung gilt.

How is it a dark matter cloud if it’s filled with gas?
Reminded of:
> “What does God need with a starship?”
Cloud-9. You do you.
What if you’re starless, gas-rich & made up of dark matter. What matters is you are now discovered and we will always think about you and won’t leave you alone like Pluto.
If we find a star hidden behind it, we better call it Nemesis.
Roughly 5 billion solar masses worth of dark matter, with just a million solar masses of gas (atomic matter), within about a 5,000 lightyear across space. That’s a ratio of 5000:1 dark matter vs. atomic (baryonic) matter. For comparison, our own galaxy is about 10:1 dark matter vs. atomic matter, though it also weighs about 200 times more and has about 20x the diameter.
Wow does that make it Cloud 9 from outer space?
Cloud-9?
Come on Hubble Team, is that the best you can do?
Do we know, can we even interact with dark matter yet? Is it gravity which we haven’t yet found?
Are they George Harrison fans?
Does this imply dark matter isn’t very dense, in terms of how much it compresses down to. That much for so long should really have formed a smaller ball or gathered some dust into something ultra dense surely? Or attraction between dark matter itself isn’t strong or even is repulsive.
I assume these scientists aren’t big into e-sports because that is a terrible name.
