Galaxy Composed Mostly of Dark Matter Discovered

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a unique galaxy, CDG-2, which is almost entirely composed of dark matter. Located about 300 million light-years away, this 'dark galaxy' was identified by four globular clusters previously considered independent. Using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes, scientists observed a faint glow surrounding these clusters, indicating the underlying galaxy. The analysis shows that 99.94 to 99.98 percent of CDG-2's mass is dark matter. Dark galaxies like CDG-2 are rare and provide essential insights into dark matter, a crucial component of the universe's structure.

NASA Targets March Launch for Artemis II Moon Mission

NASA is targeting March 6 for the launch of Artemis II, which would carry four astronauts around the Moon. A successful second fueling test for the Space Launch System has increased confidence in the timeline. Technicians resolved a hydrogen leak issue by replacing faulty seals, ensuring the system could be fully fueled without major leaks. While this keeps the mission on track, NASA officials stress the importance of completing additional 'forward work' before the launch approval. The Artemis II mission aims to test systems for future lunar landings, with a 9 to 10-day journey planned to set records for the farthest human travel from Earth since 1972.

Discord Faces Backlash Over Age Verification in UK

Discord's recent age verification initiative, specifically in the UK, has led to widespread criticism from users and privacy advocates. Discord initially announced that all users would experience a default teen mode until age is verified, method raising concerns over privacy as it involves collecting video selfies to estimate age. Issues intensified when a disclaimer on Discord's FAQ about using Persona for verification was briefly posted and removed, suggesting that user information could be stored for up to seven days. Critics were further unsettled by Persona's ties to Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and the speculated risk of data misuse or government access. Persona's CEO, Rick Song, has confirmed the deletion of user data and denied any current government contracts. Discord has since ended its experimentation with Persona, promising transparency in future vendor collaborations.
