Carnegie Supernova Project

The Carnegie Supernova Project is a scientific initiative that studies exploding stars called supernovae to better understand the universe's expansion and the nature of dark energy. By carefully observing these distant explosions across various wavelengths of light, astronomers gather precise data about their brightness and behavior. This information helps improve measurements of cosmic distances and the rate at which the universe is growing. Ultimately, the project aims to refine our understanding of fundamental cosmological questions, contributing to the broader knowledge of how the universe has evolved over time.
