NASA announces new dark energy findings
December 18, 2008 | 1:33 pm
The Washington Post Wednesday offered the whole world an early holiday gift–a report that the universe will NOT rip apart in the future because of the repulsive nature of dark energy.
This is good news, unless of course you were banking on that to make your 401K losses moot. The news stems from an announcement this week by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who released results of thier measurement of the effects of dark energy using NASA‘s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The results were in line with previous observations of supernovas made by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Read the full story on the results here.

Thanks for the link Tona! I have to say, however, that it looks like you missed Discovery’s super-huge-deluxe package of stuff on these findings: http://blogs.discovery.com/space_disco/2008/12/dark-energy.html
Enjoy!
