From early 1997 through 1998, I was part of a group of astronomers searching distant galaxies for supernovae. The group was composed of myself, Dr. Mark Adams, Dr. Craig Wheeler, Andy Howell, Mike Ward and Bill Wren. Six nights a month, we used the 30 inch telescope at McDonald Observatory to image distant clusters of galaxies (Abell clusters) in hopes of finding a supernova, an exploding star. The information gained from observing supernovae can be used to determine the distance to the galaxy which can then be used to refine the value of the Hubble Constant which determines the size and age of the Universe.
