The acceleration of the expansion of the universe has been argued for by several research groups. If the universe is accelerating and if the universe or some part of the universe has a charge, then there may be electromagnetic radiation produced from the acceleration of the universe since accelerating charges produce electromagnetic radiation. This letter does a thought experiment to ask about the possible characteristics of the radiation from an accelerating universe. A value for the power, or rate of energy flow, of the universe's acceleration is calculated in this letter. A value of the power of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the universe's acceleration is calculated to be P = 5.99 x 10 -82 Joule/sec or 5.99 x 10 -82 Watts. This value for the power assumes only the charge of an electron as the value for the charge; larger charges would produce much larger rates of energy flow. The letter then reveals what a characteristic of a charged, accelerating universe would be.
