Dark matter

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight's lesson pairs quite well with the darkened skies. Dark energy and dark matter are impossible to observe, but they make up 95% of our universe. In fact, the universe couldn't exist without them. Let's begin!"
Professor Aurora Sinistra to her seventh-year Astronomy students[src]

Dark matter was a form of matter, that, along with dark energy, made up 95% of the universe. The existence of dark matter would have explained the galaxy's structural integrity.[1]
