Astronomers have found the first "dark galaxy" - a black cloud of hydrogen gas and exotic particles, devoid of stars. The gloomy galaxy lurks two million light years from Earth.

No stars, is this some new definition of galaxy?

Sounds like a gas nebula to me.

Way too big to be a nebula. The phrase dark galaxies has been around for a while and seems to have stuck.
