Two astronomers believe an intergalactic “graphite” is dimming stars, especially in the infrared, and causing cosmologists to call for “dark energy” to explain distance measurements that may not actually be correct. Carbon whiskers, possibly created by supernovae, are believed responsible for the dimming.
I’m sure many cosmologists would breathe sighs of relief if further study confirms this.
