An observation.
A theory models or explains why something is the way it is or how something works. If at some point a scientist find this theory to be inadequate (doesn't fully explain/describe it) due to recent research he/she may have done the theory will need to be modified to include the latest discoveries.
An observation is something you have SEEN, an inference is a logical conclusion drawn to EXPLAIN something you have seen/noticed..

They make it so as to explain or study something that cannot be seen with the human eye or something abstract, which needs models to help explain.
Scientist used abstract reasoning to explain how something happened.

That is true. Science tries to make sense of what is observed, to explain the universe in which we live. Until you make an observation, there is nothing to explain.
When you are using the scientific method, you would try to imagine a hypothesis which explains an observation, but you might not succeed. A hypothesis that does not explain an observation would be considered a failed hypothesis. You would then need to invent a different hypothesis.
