Is tiny invisible galaxy made of dark matter?

This false-color photo shows an "Einstein ring," a visual effect caused by gravitational lensing of a distant galaxy by a massive intervening one. In this system, called B1938, a small invisible dwarf galaxy is adding minor disturbances to the gravitational lensing.Astronomers have discovered a small galaxy that is invisible to telescopes and may be completely composed of dark matter, which reflects no light.

The Problem of Space Travel: The Rocket Motor (NASA History Series no. SP-4026)

This is an English translation of Noordung’s ‘Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums’. It is a part of the NASA History Series. The book provides Noordung’s insight as to how a space station might be constructed. Keep in mind that the author passed away in 1929. It contains ideas that were criticized for faults and those that were acclaimed for their potentially successful ingenuity. Profusely illustrated throughout.
