ESCAPE (European Supernova Cosmology Project)

The European Supernova Cosmology Project (ESCAPE) is a scientific initiative that studies exploding stars called supernovae to understand the universe's expansion. By observing these distant supernovae, astronomers can measure how fast the universe is growing. This helps determine important cosmic properties, including the nature of dark energy, which drives this acceleration. ESCAPE uses advanced telescopes and techniques to collect detailed data on supernovae across the universe, providing insights into the universe’s history and shape, and helping to answer fundamental questions about our cosmos.
