Travel to the corners of the universe with Ellen Jackson and Nic Bishop as they follow Dr Alex Fillippenko and his High-Z Supernova Search Team to Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii.

| Synopsis: |
Travel to the corners of the universe with Ellen Jackson and Nic Bishop as they follow Dr. Alex Fillippenko and his High-Z Supernova Search Team to Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii. There they study space phenomena and look for supernovae, dying stars that explode with the power of billions of hydrogen bombs. Dr. Fillippenko looks for black holes - areas in space with such a strong gravitational pull that no matter or energy can escape from them - with his robotic telescope. And they study the effects of dark energy, the mysterious force that scientists believe is pushing the universe apart, causing its constant and accelerating expansion. |
