Largest Supernova Dataset Hints Dark Energy May Be Changing over Time

UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – The Union3 dataset of 2,087 standardized supernovae suggests dark energy, which makes up nearly 70% of the universe, may change over time, challenging prior cosmological models.

Summary by Phys.org
It took about 50 exploding stars to upend cosmology. Researchers mapped and measured light from Type Ia supernovae, the dramatic explosion of a particular kind of white dwarf. In 1998, they announced their surprising results: Instead of slowing down or staying constant, our universe was expanding faster and faster. The discovery of "dark energy," the unknown ingredient driving the accelerated expansion, was awarded a Nobel Prize.
