The winners of the prestigious prize are Saul Perlmutter (University of California Berkley), Brian P. Schmidt (Australian National University) and Adam G. Riess (Johns Hopkins University).

It's really nice to see these guys getting the greatest prize in the world of science as the discovery of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe really shook the world. In a sense this discovery brought physicists to the mystery of dark matter, which is perhaps the biggest secret of Physics these days.
