News of the Universe Science Magazine names "Illuminating the Dark Universe" as Breakthrough of the Year 19 Dec 2003 - With the Wilkinson Microwave Anistropy Probe (WMAP) results on the most distant parts of the observable Universe, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) results on the large scale structure in the galaxy distribution "near" (within several billion light years) the Earth, and the confirmation of the correlation between the CMB anisotropy and the large scale structure produced by the late integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect by Boughn & Crittenden (2003); Nolta, Wright et al. (2003); Fosalba & Gaztananga (2003) & Scranton et al. (2003) the evidence for a Universe dominated by a "dark energy" is now quite strong. This dark energy, or "smooth tension" in Sean Carroll's words because it is unclustered and has negative pressure, was first seen in accelerating expansion of the Universe found using supernovae. The accelerating expansion of the Universe was the Science Magazine Breakthrough of the Year for 1998. See: http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmolog.htm#News which includes the embeded links.
