Our Entire Galaxy Appears to Be Embedded in a Colossal Sheet of Dark Matter

A deep space image showing numerous stars and galaxies scattered across a dark background. The left side features a wide view of the star field with a small square highlighting a specific area. The right side zooms in on this highlighted region, showing a faint, diffuse circular area marked by a dashed orange line labeled "Candidate Dark Galaxy – diffuse emission." Inside this circle, four small blue circles indicate "globular clusters." Several faint galaxies and stars are visible around the highlighted area.
