Dark energy is the force that drives the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.

It was discovered in 1998 by two teams of astronomers making distance measurements using supernovas in faraway galaxies.

"Dark energy" was just a placeholder name granted to the force driving this acceleration, with the hope that, eventually, a more accurate concept would emerge.

The DESI survey began operating from the Mayall Telescope on top of Kitt Peak near Tucson , Arizona , in 2021 , and it is set to operate for five years , concluding in 2026 .

The first DESI data seems to back that concept, but more data will be needed to overturn this model.
