Cool.
"Astronomers have discovered an object that appears to be an invisible galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter."

Neat article! Thanks!

I canot find the link, but I read that astronomers theorize that only 1% of the universe is "visible matter" while the other 99% is "dark matter." Which means that our "reality" is not the norm but the exception.
Lol, I better keep that in mind when I am tempted to shoot from the hip in future posts.

I had heard a similar quote before. Thanks for posting the article...its pretty neat. Its amazing of how much is out there that we cannot see, even if we look right at it. Puts things into perspective just how tiny we really are....a single grain of sand in the ocean.
