Explain how we know dark matter exists if we cannot see it

Gravitational lensing is how we know there is dark matter

What this means is that the light is bending as the light travels from the source to the observer, and if there are any 'holes' in between the beam, that is where 'dark matter' exists

Explanation:

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
