Studying them and their evolution gives us insight into one of the fundamental questions in cosmolgy, namely "how did structure form in the Universe?" One very promising method for conducting such a survey is through radio observations, using the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) as a backlight.
The Cavendish Astrophysics group is currently constructing the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI), a telescope dedicated to such CMB observations.
