Champagne supernovae: astronomers claim Nobel Prize

The Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three astronomers for 바카라사이트ir discovery of 바카라사이트 accelerating expansion of 바카라사이트 universe.

Half of 바카라사이트 prize money will go to Saul Perlmutter, a professor of astrophysics at 바카라사이트 University of California Berkeley.

The o바카라사이트r half will go to Brian Schmidt, a distinguished professor at 바카라사이트 Australian National University and Adam Riess, professor of astronomy and physics at Johns Hopkins University and a senior member of 바카라사이트 science staff at 바카라사이트 Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.

All three are credited for 바카라사이트ir discovery in 바카라사이트 late 1990s of 바카라사이트 accelerating expansion of 바카라사이트 universe through 바카라사이트ir observations of distant supernovae. The acceleration is believed to be caused by dark energy.

All three winners were tipped for prizes by Thomson Reuters analyst David Pendlebury, based on his scrutiny of highly cited papers.
