Cloud-9: a new celestial object found by Hubble
A team using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a new type of astronomical object – a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud that is considered a 'relic' or remnant of early galaxy formation. Nicknamed 'Cloud-9,' this is the first confirmed detection of such an object in the Universe.

Nullschool launches new mobile app for popular Earth weather platform
Cameron Beccario, creator of the global weather visualization site earth.nullschool.net, has created a new company called Nullschool Technologies to support the platform's operation and development as a full-time focus. The one-person company is intended to keep the project small and flexible while adding structure to daily work, with the stated goal of making Earth's weather and climate visible Thin ice may have protected lake water on frozen Mars
Small lakes on ancient Mars may have remained liquid for decades, even with average air temperatures well below freezing. Using a climate model adapted for Martian conditions, a team of researchers from Rice University discovered that lakes in locations such as Gale Crater, near Mars' equator, could have persisted under thin seasonal ice for at least decades and likely as long as climate conditi Rogue planet mass pinned down for the first time
Peking University, January 2, 2026: A coordinated observation campaign using space- and ground-based telescopes has yielded the first precise mass measurement of a rogue planet, confirming that one long-standing candidate is indeed a planet. Unlike planets in the Solar System, rogue planets travel through space without orbiting a host star.
Over the last decade, astronomers have identified Hubble confirms dark starless relic cloud near galaxy M94
A team using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has identified a new type of astronomical object, a starless gas-rich dark-matter cloud considered a relic of early galaxy formation and nicknamed "Cloud-9." The object is the first confirmed example of a Reionization-Limited H I Cloud, or RELHIC, a neutral hydrogen cloud from the early universe that never formed stars.
