A failed galaxy could solve the dark matter mystery
Andrew Fox and Gagandeep Anand, both astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute, dive into the fascinating world of dark matter. They explore Cloud 9, a unique starless dark matter halo that could be pivotal in understanding dark matter. The discussion covers how Hubble's observations revealed Cloud 9's emptiness, the implications for galaxy formation, and its potential to refine the Lambda-CDM theory. They emphasize the importance of finding more starless halos to unlock further secrets of the universe.
