The British use the word "dark" when they mean "unseen";
e.g.: The "dark" (UnSeen) side of the moon.

95% of the (spherical) Milky Way can't be seen because
we're sitting in a brightly lit "room" with pitch black "windows",
and we can't turn down the lights, nor move to the window.

Quoting WikiPedia: ＜＜

  The visible disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is embedded 
  in a much larger, roughly spherical halo of dark matter. 

  The dark matter density drops off with distance from the galactic center.
  It is now believed that about 95% of the Galaxy is composed of dark matter ＞＞
