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. Their mathematical model describing how the universe behaves could explain it well if there were a powerful, constant force at play — but they didn’t know the nature of this force or where it came from, so they called it dark energy.

The Italian police are investigating a possible arson fire that destroyed more than a dozen Tesla electric vehicles at a dealership on the outskirts of Rome early Monday.
Tesla Italy said that it is cooperating with police, and that it had turned over surveillance video from the vehicles themselves.
The cars’ internal video operates even when they are off.
An Associated Press reporter at the scene counted 16 burned cars.
Tesla has been the target of protests around the world against owner Elon Musk’s affiliation with the Trump administration.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy he had the full support of the so-called coalition of the willing, NATO and the EU “for as long as it takes” at a summit in Paris on Thursday.
Ukraine’s allies from across Europe gathered for talks on how to strengthen Kyiv’s hand and its military as it pushes for a ceasefire with Russia.
Starmer said the group agreed to offer more support to Ukraine and discussed how to increase sanctions on Russia.
Hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, the meeting of almost 30 countries, as well as NATO and European Union chiefs, was also looking to consider proposals to deploy European troops in the country in tandem with any peace deal. AP
Israel launched an attack on the Lebanese capital on Friday for the first time since a ceasefire ended the last war between Israel and the political-military group Hezbollah in November. AP
The Israeli military struck a building in Beirut’s southern suburbs early Tuesday, saying it targeted a member of the Hezbollah militant group.
The airstrike came without warning days after Israel launched an attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Friday for the first time since a ceasefire ended fighting between Israeli forces and the Hezbollah militant group in November.
The Israeli military then had warned residents in the crowded suburbs before the attack after two projectiles were launched from southern Lebanon, which Hezbollah denied firing.
The Israeli military said in a statement the latest strike targeted a Hezbollah member who had been helping the Palestinian Hamas group in the Gaza Strip in attacks against Israel. AP
Protesters against billionaire Elon Musk’s purge of the U.S. government under President Donald Trump demonstrated outside Tesla dealerships throughout the U.S. and in some cities in Europe on Saturday in the latest attempt to dent the fortune of the world’s richest man.
