Has Dark Matter Been Detected?

Can dark matter be detected?

We've never been able to directly detect dark matter in any form, but we know it exists through its effects on the universe, especially through the orbital velocities of stars and gravitational lensing of light around "invisible" objects.

Has dark matter been found?

Evidence for such tiny clumps of dark matter has not been found yet; observers have only studied much bigger systems, namely galaxies like our own Milky Way, containing gas and stars as their inner core, which is surrounded by a halo of dark matter.
