So, I was just thinking; Dark Matter must be invisible because if there is so much of it, why doesn't it interfere with our observation of other stellar objects like other galaxies. You don't hear someone say "I was watching Mars last nite when suddently an orb of dark matter blocked my view"

Dark Matter, Anti-Matter,and little lambs eat ivy.
Possibilities for dark matter: It interacts very little or not at all with normal matter. Or it is composed more of particles than large "blobs" of matter like an asteroid or planet or star. Neutrino's for example are hugely abundant, but very hard to detect, and also make up a portion of dark matter. If there's more particles like the neutrino out there, they possibly wouldn't be easily detected but could make up a large part of dark matter.

Anti-matter is another subject, but I'll save that for another time

Look up 'Anti-Protons'. Basically, protons with a negative charge. Apparently, if you smash a proton and an anti-proton, there's a 100% energy release, or really close to it.
