Computerized animations show the following: (1) the acceleration and deceleration of the universe; (2) an image subtraction of the 1995 and 1997 images of the Hubble Deep Field to reveal a supernova in the 1997 image; (3) a pie-chart of the mass composition of the universe; (4) the universe's expansion after the Big Bang; (5) a supernova detonating; and (6) the lightbulb test (to determine distance by comparing light intensity). Zoom shots show the Hubble Deep Field (from ground-based observations to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image) and the Hubble Deep Field with a supernova (from an artist's conception animation to a ground-based view). Dr. Ron Gilliland explains that he looked for a supernova in the Hubble Deep Field and how supernova are useful as standard candles. Dr. Adam Riess describes how astronomers used supernovae to discover that the universe is expanding and why it might be expanding.
