flag A ghost galaxy, 99.9% dark matter, was found 250 million light-years away using star clusters and advanced telescopes.

flag A Canadian-led team has discovered CDG-2, a "ghost galaxy" 250 million light-years away, composed mostly of dark matter and nearly invisible due to its faint brightness—equivalent to just 5 million stars. flag Using data from Hubble, Euclid, and the Subaru Telescope, researchers identified it through four orbiting globular clusters, suggesting the galaxy is likely 99.9% dark matter, stripped of star-forming material by past interactions. flag The finding highlights dark matter’s dominant role in cosmic structure and advances astrostatistics, offering new clues about the universe’s unseen components.
