The South Pole Telescope is used to put constraints on dark energy in order to see its mass. "The results are based on a new method that combines measurements taken by the SPT and X-ray satellites, and extends these measurements to larger distances than previously achieved using galaxy clusters." Galaxy clusters leave behind shadows when cosmic microwave background radiation is passed through it, which lets astronomers see the most massive clusters in the universe.
