Reprieve for cosmological constant

It’s been “reprieved” a few times before, but Einstein’s cosmological constant has more observational support. Einstein originally added the constant to general relativity to ensure a static universe, but by changing the sign of the constant, it creates an expanding universe consistent with the proposed “dark energy”.

The results aren’t exactly clinching evidence, but maybe “Einstein’s greatest mistake” won’t be seen as such in a few years.
