Default BREAKING NEWS: First Dark Galaxy Found?

A cloud of gas in the Virgo Cluster may be the first dark galaxy ever found.
The mysterious object has one-tenth the Milky Way's mass but consists of
hydrogen gas and dark matter--with no detectable stars.

"If we can pin down what it is, it'll be an interesting clue to galaxy
formation," says Martin Rees of Cambridge University, who was not part of
the discovery team. "It could be a dark halo where, for some reason, some
of the gas was swept out or the gas is more spread out than in a typical
galaxy."
