南极天文台三大观测宇宙的天文台之一，旨在检测由宇宙大爆炸而产生的大量存在于微光辐射中的扭曲现象，利用天文望远镜对宇宙射线背景进行筛选，再利用星系群的特点确定一个点，即当宇宙射线穿过极热气体时会产生轻微混乱，混乱的那一刻就是所要找的那个点。
The telescopes sift through the background cosmic radiation to find spots where it has been slightly perturbed as it passes through extremely hot gas, a hallmark characteristic of galaxy clusters.
