Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate?

Yes. Multiple independent reference and official sources, including NASA and the 2011 Nobel Prize citation, state that the universe's expansion is accelerating, with supernova observations cited as the evidence.
