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.

A fast-moving wildfire engulfing part of New Jersey’s Pine Barrens has not resulted in any injuries, officials said, though it’s expected to continue to grow before forecast rain later this week.
The fire in southern New Jersey’s Lacey and Ocean townships grew to roughly 18 square miles (47 square kilometers) and could continue to burn for days, officials said during an update on Wednesday.
No one has been injured so far in the blaze, and 5,000 residents were evacuated but have been permitted to return home.
The Garden State Parkway, one of New Jersey’s busiest highways, also reopened Wednesday morning after officials closed a roughly 7-mile (12-kilometer) stretch in the southern part of the state.

Iran has agreed to allow in an International Atomic Energy Agency technical team in coming days to discuss restoring camera surveillance at nuclear sites, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said Wednesday, calling it an encouraging signal of Iran’s attitude toward nuclear talks with the United States.
Rafael Mariano Grossi, speaking to reporters in Washington after meeting with Iranian officials in Tehran last week, joined the American and Iranian sides in projecting optimism after a second round of negotiations Saturday over the Islamic Republic’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. Technical-level talks were expected this week.
“The goal is for Iran not to have nuclear weapons. That is the goal as defined by the United States. And for Iran is to prove that they are not doing that,” Grossi said.
The U.S. is looking to ensure Iran doesn’t develop nuclear weapons, while Iran wants sanctions eased that have damaged its economy.
