"...a mysterious cloud of hydrogen in the Virgo Cluster 50 million light-years from the Earth found to be colliding with our galaxy..."

The Milky Way is ~100k light years across, yet a gas cloud that is ~50M light years away is colliding with it. Simply amazing. (the quality of reporting that is, not the gas cloud)

My first thought after I read this article.

Maybe it is the elusive dark matter, not so dark after all. We were just looking in the wrong spectrum.
