An anonymous reader writes an excerpt from a press release by the University of Chicago: "Analysis of data from the 10-meter South Pole Telescope is providing new support for the most widely accepted explanation of dark energy — the source of the mysterious force that is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe."
The research resulted in three papers involving new constraints on the mass of neutrinos, a measurement of the angular power spectrum of the CMB, and a catalog of newly discovered galaxy clusters. The data lends a bit more support to the cosmological constant theory of dark energy.

Deeper analysis revealed the dark energy source is a large, repellent mass [imageshack.us] located in our solar system.

It's been developing for quite some time, apparently.

It's a press release from the University of Chicago. You should feel lucky it's not measured in rods or links.

There's nothing better to do there.
If the telescope was in Hawaii, they'd just put down any old number and hit the beach early. "Surf's up, dude!"
