With current observations suggesting that dark energy comprises more than 70 percent of the matter - energy density of the present - day universe, astronomers say that measuring the apparent shapes and the distribution of galaxies in the Universe will constrain the nature of dark energy and allow them to examine whether the general theory of relativity is still a valid description of gravitation on scales of billions of light years.

As well as keeping an eye out for solar flares, it will also be looking well past the Sun to gain a better grasp of the earliest, most distant galaxies we have ever observed to give astronomers a better idea of what happened in the very early days of our Universe, and perhaps shed light on how the relationship between gravity and dark matter evolved.

The ability to test single stars also sheds light on the makeup of dark matter.

Tracing the growth of clustering in the dark matter may eventually also shed light on dark energy, a repulsive form of gravity that influences how dark matter clumps.
