TL;DR Summary

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have discovered a potential method to measure dark energy by studying the Andromeda galaxy, which is on a collision course with the Milky Way. By analyzing the mass and movement of the two galaxies, the researchers can place an upper limit on the cosmological constant, which is a model of dark energy. Although this technique is still in its early stages, it could provide valuable insights into the nature of dark energy and its effects on the universe.
