Do Dark Galaxies Exist in the Universe?

Abstract

As huge islands of stars, gas and dust that populate the universe in groups and clusters. But the theory has predicted that some galaxies, called “dark galaxies,” have few if any stars and are made predominately of dense gas and dark matter. Because they are devoid of stars, dark galaxies have been impossible to detect directly by optical telescope until now. Some theoretical models predicted that dark galaxies were common in the early universe almost 11 billion years ago when galaxies had more difficulty in forming stars.

Keywords: Dark galaxies, dark matter, virgo clusters
