        abstract = {When investigating the movement of celestial bodies millions of light years away appears rather simple on paper. However, when we decide to consider the plethora of factors that contribute the most, especially with due respect to gravitational attraction and the universal redshift in the universe, altering our observations, it appears that the more we attempt to get closer to an answer by considering more factors, the more questions we end up dwelling on. However, the conceptual theory of dark matter, though its interpretations are of much ambiguity, presents itself as perchance a key towards the explanation of the unexplainable movement of various celestial bodies.
I had decided to undertake this endeavor by investigating the movements of various celestial beings using secondary data from a plethora of sources elaborated more on in the Bibliography. Additionally, I had considered the various perspectives and interpretations of the influence of dark matter towards my final argument that I had concluded on. The data once collected, was processed and modeled integrating python towards establishing a visual representation with direct correlation.
What I had ended up concluding is perchance something that my prior self would considerably disagree with. The investigations reveal that dark matter does contribute significantly towards the movement of planetary bodies, especially those henceforth void of any orbit or in other words, rogue bodies. However, the argument is completely squandered when considering the movement of bodies that orbit any system of planets or stars.
In conclusion to my investigation, the argument of dark matter proving to be a significant contributor is extremely valid. However, as elaborated further below, these unexplained phenomena can also be drawn to a plethora of other possible interpretations; from our ability to not detect the presence of	other bodies or the shift in the fabric of space time which bends the light significantly, altering the actual orbit significantly, the list goes on and on. Yet if we decide to leave this as in the form of dark matter, its level of contributions is significantly overlooked.},
