Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists further hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they thought.
Astronomers know that the universe is expanding — and not just expanding, but doing so at a faster and faster rate. For decades, they’ve puzzled over what could possibly be speeding everything up.
