About Snapshot Supernova
The Zooniverse has joined with the team from the Skymapper Telescope in Siding Spring, Australia, and BBC Stargazing Live to bring you Snapshot Supernova. We need your help to look through images of the night sky for exploding stars. These supernovae events can get so bright that they outshine their host galaxies for a few days or weeks. Discovering a certain type of supernova allows astronomers to refine their measurements of many fundamental parameters of the Universe, such as its age. Start hunting now!
