(James Glanz) Alexi Filippenko. "Astronomers See a Cosmic Antigravity Force at Work" in Science, 27 February 1998, volume 279, number 5355, pp 1298-1299. Original wrappers Very Fine copy. With the Glanz article on pp 1298-1299 in the full issue. [++] This is a very early announcement reporting on the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. "Seemingly in defiance of common sense, space itself appears to be permeated by a repulsive force that is counteracting gravity on large scale. "Team member Alexei Filippenko announced last week that observed dimness of the supernovae pointing to unexpectedly great distances implies that cosmic expansion has actually sped up in the billions of years since the stars exploded." 714.3.
