A Distant Destiny
The universe is expanding, and looking at distant galaxies means looking into the past. These three Hubble Space Telescope images show supernovae, exploding stars, that are five to seven billion light-years away. These explosions happened before our Sun was even formed. Their light helps us understand the universe's expansion.
