The research will be published in a forthcoming edition of the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The evidence is reported in a paper submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics.
Other scientists are exploring how the universe is changing, such as Steve Meyer, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago.
The results "could help foster a new understanding of the fields of fundamental physics and astrophysics, " NASA administrator Charles Bolden said in a statement Wednesday.

The astronomy and astrophysics major says she never considered switching schools.
To date, balloon-borne activities have centered around heliophysics and astrophysics that have not required precision-pointing, says Near-Earth Object (NEO) program officer Rob Landis at NASA headquarters.

Physicist Sergio Bertolucci, research director at Switzerland's CERN physics lab, presented the results Friday at the 25th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics in Kyoto, Japan.
"I already have a masters degree in physics and astrophysics a PhD in astronomy, I'm a scuba diver, I speak basic beginner's to advanced Russian, and I have flying experience, " one hopeful, Tracy Parker, tells CNN.
" The final chapter in this story took place at the International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics in Kyoto today, with Bertolucci also commenting that, at the very least, the story captured the public imagination, pointing out that "An unexpected result was put up for scrutiny, thoroughly investigated and resolved in part thanks to collaboration between normally competing experiments.

Yet now that precision-pointing has been demonstrated, Landis says it opens up possibilities not just for planetary science, but for earth science and other astrophysics efforts.

On March 2, 2012, the UNESCO Director-General signed at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris an agreement between UNESCO and three universities, respectively -- The Islamic University of Gaza, the Al Aqsa University and Al Azhar University -- for the establishment of a UNESCO Chair in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences.
Fortunately, exceptional mathematical fluency is required in only a few disciplines, such as particle physics, astrophysics and information theory.
The current Chair-holder of the UNESCO Chair in Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Dr Suleiman Baraka, is a well-known scientist with an international profile.
"It's really quite exciting because we can exchange ideas about it while we're here at the meeting in the same place, " said Greg Madejski of the Kavli Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology.
Now Guido Risaliti of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and colleagues have looked at markedly higher energies - less subject to absorption in those gas layers - using Europe's XMM-Newton telescope and the recently launched Nustar telescope.
Dark energy is one of the most pressing problems in astrophysics today and, given its role in identifying the problem, you would have thought it would be the US announcing such a mission.
However Christian Marois, of the NRC Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics in Canada and his colleagues, developed a computer processing technique that was able to separate the light from HR 8799 from the light the planets are emitting they are still so young that they are glowing from heat left over from their formation about 60m years ago.
Other efforts exist in astrophysics, atmospheric modeling and financial modeling.
There will always will be something beyond the fundamentals of matter unified or not else there would be no framework for their universality, and thus the ability to study astrophysics.
The team includes David Charbonneau and David Latham from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Massachusetts, Timothy Brown from the National Center for Atmospheric research, Colorado, and Michel Mayor from the Geneva Observatory.
What makes this result so unequivocal is that another team of planet hunters at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts and the High Altitude Observatory in Boulder, Colorado, have independently verified it by analysing four years of their own observations.

But in constructing the first atmospheric model that has the orbital dynamics of a star-planet-moon system fully included, astronomers Duncan Forgan, at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, and David Kipping, at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, turn that idea on its head.

The survey involved the largest ever astronomical study of the nearby universe and is considered one of the most important achievements of 20th century astrophysics.
"It's no exaggeration to say that Patrick, in his tireless and ebullient communication of the magic of astronomy, inspired every British astronomer, amateur and professional, for half a century, " said Queen guitarist Brian May, who holds a PhD in astrophysics.
