There are galaxies that orbit our galaxy that are believed to be filled with a lot of dark matter. Segue 1 is one of about two dozen dwarf galaxies around ours that have light outputs equal to only a few hundred times that of our sun. There are probably untold numbers of other such galaxies around the more visible galaxies. This is a possible explanation for the discrepancy in the predicted mass of the universe and the observed mass. Some theories postulate that 90% of the mass of the universe is composed of this unobservable "dark matter". The existence of these dim dwarf galaxies help explain the discrepancy.
