What is the evidence for dark matter?

Wherever you look, galaxies and galaxy clusters are observed to have much more mass than the sum of the known matter (stars, dust, gas, black holes). Galaxies rotate too fast for the known amount of matter, galaxies in a galaxy cluster move too fast, and gravitational lensing indicates a larger mass than the known masses.Wherever you look, galaxies and galaxy clusters are observed to have much more mass than the sum of the known matter (stars, dust, gas, black holes).
