暗蓝星系
暗蓝星系 （Faint blue galaxy，F.B.G.）问题随著1978年观测许多星系的热星等比当时理论预测的22等更为黯淡，而首度在天文物理上产生了问题[1][2][3]。星系会如此微弱，可以解释为它们太小或距离太远，但这些做出的意见，既不能解释，也不符任何的组合。这些星系的分布已经被发现要符合宇宙膨胀、宇宙微波背景的测量、和一个非零的宇宙常数，就需要接受现在已经被认同存在的暗能量 [4][5]。因此它启发了超新星观测，作为暗能量存在的证据。
第二个问题发生在1988年，更深层次的观测显示有更多数量的暗星系存在[6]。这些，现在被解释为矮星系经历大爆发的恒星形成，导致从年轻的大质量恒星留下了蓝色的光[7]。因此，以它们的大小和距离，暗蓝星系是非常明亮的。
