Dark energy is a proposed form of energy that affects the universe on the largest scales, and is the most accepted explanation for the observations since the 1990s indicating that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.
Lead section (proposed-year)
The accelerating expansion was discovered in 1998 by two independent teams led by Adam Riess and Saul Perlmutter, using observations of distant Type Ia supernovae.

Proposed By: Adam Riess, Late-time dark energy section (edge: proposed-by, Riess)
The first direct evidence for dark energy came from supernova observations in 1998 of accelerated expansion in Riess et al. and in Perlmutter et al.
