Research in theoretical astronomy and physics will focus on the nature of the dark (i.e., non-luminous) matter in the universe, and on the large-scale structure of the universe. The dark matter is known to exist, and its nature is an important puzzle. The large-scale structure is known to be lumpy, and the question of how this lumpy structure grew out of the very homogeneous early universe is another important puzzle.

理论天文学和物理学的研究将集中于宇宙中暗物质（即不发光）的本质以及宇宙的大尺度结构。 已知暗物质的存在，其性质是一个重要的谜团。 众所周知，大尺度结构是块状的，而这种块状结构如何从非常均匀的早期宇宙中生长出来的问题是另一个重要的谜题。
