Dark matter is by definition not visible nor reactive to the electromagnetic force; this would exclude visible matter, including stars. One might argue that the effects which dark matter has been used to explain could be consequential to gravitational pull from ordinary stars, perhaps owing to a gross miscalculation or an incomplete understanding of gravitational force -- but this would be a different position than to say dark matter itself is stellar material.

Is the universe matter?
The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.The Universe contains matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy, empty space - and of course, lots of structures made up of those.
What the unverse is made of?
The Universe is composed of 70% dark energy, 25% dark matter, 4% molecular hydrogen, almost 1% of stars and the rest is heavier elements.
What dark matter is made of?
This is not known. All that is known about dark matter is that it has mass. Searches are underway to try to work out what it is. The existence of dark matter was learned rather recently, and its composition is still being speculated, hence the name. There are several theories about what dark matter may be made of.
What is matter made up of?
The net matter of the universe is zero because energy cannot be made or destroyed.The matter is made up of energy, and the energies of the universe cancel out each other because of their opposite directions. The total energy of an atom should be zero, this is why an unstable atom takes electron(s), so that it become stable (net energy=0).
Is dark matter made out of atoms or the other way around?
An atom is a nucleus surrounded by several electrons. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons; these can be further subdivided into quarks. As for dark matter, no one knows what it is. The only evidence for dark matter is the fact that the "light matter" (the stuff we can see in space) isn't nearly enough to create enough gravity to hold the universe together. It could be anything that has mass and isn't directly observable - white dwarves, black holes, bits of rock, as-yet-undiscovered kinds of fundamental particle, ... It could be a bit of each. Given that space is only illuminated in small patches where the stars are, it's not at all surprising that there appear to be things we can't see. In fact, dark matter is so elusive that in recent years some astronomers have begun to doubt whether it even exists, saying that maybe the general theory of relativity needs to be modified to add more gravity over larger distances. So dark matter could be made of atoms, like light matter - it could be something quite mundane. Could atoms be made of dark matter? In other words, could dark matter consist of subatomic particles? If it did, then it would be made of atoms (because nothing else is stable and made of subatomic particles).
Is it true that dark matter is made mainly of neutron stars and black holes?
A broader answer would still be no. There is no consensus on what the so-called "dark matter" is.
What 2 components are spiral galaxies made out of?
Stars, dust, gas, black holes, dark matter...By far the most significant component, in terms of mass, is dark matter, making up about 80-90% of a galaxy's mass.
Is the milky way made of stars?
The Milky Way has a lot of stars, but not only that. There is also dust, gas, black holes... and an estimated 80% of the Milky Way's mass is made up of dark matter, meaning that nobody knows what it is really made of.

What is the elliptical galaxie made of?
Dark matter, dark energy, nebulae, stars, black holes, planets, comets, asteroids, meteors, satellites, supernovas etc. make up an elliptical galaxy.

How much of the universe is considered to be plasma?
Plasma is a state of matter. Unfortunately, only 5% of the universe is actually made of matter. The rest is dark energy and dark matter: poorly understood forces.However, virtually all of that 5% is plasma! Most of the matter in the universe is part of stars, or has been ejected from stars. Stars are composed almost entirely of ionised gasses: plasma! Planets, asteroids, comets and humans, and everything else that is not a star, makes up a tiny fraction, less than 0.01%, of all the matter in the universe.
What is a thing that's not made up of matter?
antimatter and dark matter
What is space mostly made of?
Dark matter.
What percentages of universal mass are claimed by dark energy dark matter and visible matter?
About 95.7% of the universe is dark matter, and the remaining percent (4.3%) is made of normal matter, plants, gases and such.
