In the late 1990s, astronomers scrutinized 42 supernovae, which are white dwarf stars absorbing gas from a companion star. This mass increase triggers a runaway nuclear reaction, resulting in a bright explosion—a supernova.


Upon examining these supernovae, they uncovered insights that transformed our understanding of the Universe.
