Space is expanding, pushing all the stuff in the universe apart. But "pushing" is not really the right word, because the objects aren't actually being accelerated. Instead, new space is being created between all objects. This can cause the distance between two objects to increase "faster" than the speed of light, without either of the objects actually moving.
