Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the Perseus galaxy cluster with the identification of galaxy ACDG-2, characterized by an astonishingly low number of stars and a predominant composition of dark matter. Located approximately 300 million light-years from Earth, this galaxy has been revealed through meticulous tracking of globular star clusters utilizing advanced data from the Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Researchers estimate that dark matter constitutes about 99% of ACDG-2's total mass, challenging existing paradigms in astrophysics and prompting further investigation into the nature of dark matter in the universe. This finding not only sheds light on the mysterious components of the cosmos but also raises questions about the formation and evolution of galaxies that are so heavily influenced by dark matter. The implications of this discovery could reshape our understanding of galactic structures and the fundamental forces at play in the universe.
