Taking Measure of The Universe with Exploding Stars

    Project: Research

    Project Details

    Description

    We seek to discover distant exploding stars and use observations of these objects to learn about the global properties of the Universe. In addition to learning about the age, shape, and ultimate fate of the Universe, we can uncover what types of matter make up the Universe. Finally, we will observe when the first stars were born, and track their birthrate for the entire cosmic history.
