There is still a lot we do not know about the universe. Understanding the existence and make-up of a mysterious substance called dark matter is one of the leading challenges scientists face today. There are many theories about what dark matter could be, but we have yet to understand its true nature. How do we even know that such a thing exists? The greatest challenge for studying dark matter is that we cannot see it. In this article, we will discuss how scientists use science and observations from telescopes to predict the existence of dark matter and why scientists think it pervades every corner of our universe.

Scientists use science and observations from telescopes to predict the existence of dark matter, despite the fact that we cannot see it.
