Exploding Stars, Dark Energy, and the Runaway Universe by Jeffrey Silverman
Some of the most energetic and fascinating objects in the Universe are exploding stars known as supernova. These huge outbursts come from the violent deaths of stars and can become brighter than the entire galaxy in which they’re found. Observations of distant supernova were the first evidence that the expansion of the Universe is speeding up with time, instead of slowing down. This totally unexpected behavior is likely due to “dark energy”, which is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in modern science.
