We filmed Lawrence Berkeley Lab physicist Saul Perlmutter and graduate students Hannah Swift and Onsi Fakhouri observing supernovae through the Keck telescope in Hawaii, but from the relative comfort of the Lab's remote observation room, a small space with five computer screens in the Lab's basement. This footage will be part of an upcoming QUEST TV segment about Dark Energy featuring Dr. Perlmutter, whose team was one of two research groups that concluded 10 years ago that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Stay tuned for our segment in July!
