Most Distant Supernova May Shed Light on Dark Energy

Most Distant Supernova May Shed Light on Dark Energy:

"UDS10Wil is ten billion light-years from Earth."

"Could there be even more remote supernovae awaiting discovery? Possibly, but the task is a daunting one—the farther into the distance we look, the farther back in time it is. That means there are progressively fewer galaxies and consequently a significant dropoff in the numbers of supernovae. (Seesupernovae pictures.)"

""With a telescope this powerful, we may be able to observe supernova explosions in which the exploding star is one of the first stars formed in the universe.""
