J0613+52 could be "the faintest galaxy found to date" Discovered by scientists using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia .

It's a galaxy made only out of gas — it has no visible stars.

Remarkably, this galaxy full of primordial gas isn't billions of light-years away and thus seen as it was when the 13.8 billion - year-old universe was in its infancy.
