A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

Most of the universe is a ghost story: visible matter is a sliver, while dark matter (85% of mass) shapes what we can’t see.

A quiet shift in the numbers behind the universe’s growth is pushing scientists toward a bold possibility. Two of the cosmos’ ...
