Clicked link hoping for picture of stuff we can't see, got words instead. 0/10 would not look at again

Edit: on second thought, article delivered exactly what was described verdict changed to 10/10 would recommend

The "dark" in dark matter means we can't see it or detect it, Even though we can "see" the effects of it.

While scientists search for what the answer can be, it's just called dark matter as a placeholder.

"Dark matter" is a stupid and misleading name. The fact is we have no idea if it's even matter.
