Dark Galaxies of Glowing Gas and Phony Dark Matter Found
Dark galaxies have been supposedly observed by glowing fluorescent hydrogen gas being illuminated by a nearby quasar's ultraviolet radiation. The light from the quasar illuminates dark galaxies in a process similar to how white clothes fluorescence by ultraviolet light in the dark. Sebastiano Cantalupo at The Kavil Foundation says "Dark galaxies are composed of both dark matter and gas." The only real component found is gas, and it is not being properly identified as ionized electromagnetic plasma. There is no detectable starlight, nor any stars observable in the gas, mystifying these scientists who call it a "dark galaxy." Without even taking measurements to see if there is any missing gravity nearby requiring dark matter, the glowing fluorescent ionized plasma gas is called a "dark matter galaxy."

Simon Lilly at the Kavli Institute for cosmology says "I wonder if we can use this technique to see the emission of filamentary gas in the cosmic web, and if so, how close are we to seeing that? Answer: A lot closer than how they think.
This is really interesting. Having the whole universe explained in one simple statement is something we have yet to accomplish. It's still hard to understand the universe as a whole, which is why we are still struggling with out purpose in life.
