Using Supernovae to Discover the Fate of the Universe
The Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP), led by Saul Perlmutter (above) is conducting a search for very distant Type Ia supernovae using a camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. The SCP developed key analytic techniques that, by interpreting supernova measurements, could be used to determine the cause of the expansion rate of the universe.
