Title: The Discovery of Dark Matter
The search has been on for the source of observed gravitational effects on cosmic scales for almost a century. So far, bupkis. The evidence that some force is manipulating the orbits of stars and galaxies seems very solid. The solution remains to be seen. We can't describe what Dark Matter is, but we can say what it isn't. We will review the discoverers and the clues they followed.
