| Description: Dimmer Distant Supernova These Hubble Space Telescope images show the galaxy in which the Type Ia supernova SN 1997ff occurred. This supernova, more than 10 billion ly away, was dimmer than expected, indicating that the distance to it is greater than the distance it would have if the universe had been continually slowing down since the Big Bang. This supports the notion that an outward (cosmological) force is acting over vast distances in the universe. The arrow on the left inset shows the galaxy in which the supernova was discovered. The bright spot on the right inset shows the supernova by subtracting the constant light emitted by all the other nearby objects.
