How Do We Know The Universe Is ACCELERATING?

Aatish Bhatia helped write this video! A big thanks for his help! Here's his blog: http://www.empiricalzeal.com
The universe is expanding – this we know from looking at red shifts of distant galaxies – but the acceleration of the universe's expansion is harder to measure. It requires measuring the change of recession velocity over time, and it's done by comparing Type Ia supernovas as standard candles at different distances, which is how we know the universe is accelerating!
