Yeah, that is how it was determined to exist in the first place. Now I wonder if the actual process leading to the force that drives the stars apart is CMB radiation? The thought is that CMB exists throughout the universe and is approximately equal in all directions of propagation. It is basically pent up energy and must want to expand into a larger space.
I think of it like what would happen if you have a photon of light trapped between two perfect mirrors. Momentum and energy is deposited upon each mirror every time a reflection takes place. Eventually all of the momentum and energy ends up in the mirrors. Before that happens it appears as though a continuous force is pushing them apart which comes in pulses timed by the reflections. I suppose that the total energy of the CMB would be reduced with time under the conditions considered above so it would have to be refreshed by the stored dark energy reservoir. As we were wildly speculating earlier perhaps the interaction of the dark matter with itself performs that resupply. Can gravitational collapse of dark matter convert into dark energy?

Dark energy is likely the source of the force which drives stars apart.
