I'm sure you've considered this, but I think the preferred usage is to say the night sky is riddled. Also, separately, speaking to its usage in physics, dark matter is a misnomer. It should be called "invisible matter." Dark matter is stuff that exerts gravitational influence but that is otherwise undectable. Here's why I'm saying this: I used to think it absorbed light. It doesn't. Fwiw, I think the best guess is that neutrinos have some infinitesimal mass, and that their role as shed energy in the most common chemical transformation in the universe (four protons into two neutrons and two protons) means they're everywhere everywhere everywhere. So, nearly massless particles account for most of the mass in the observable universe. And here's why it matters: the riddled object isn't dark matter, but darkness.
