1. Elisabetta Lusso:

   Since this is a new technique, we took extra steps to show that this method gives us reliable results, we showed that results from our technique match up with those from supernova measurements over the last 9 billion years, giving us confidence that our results are reliable at even earlier times.

2. Charles Kilpatrick:

   When it exploded, it seemed like a very normal hydrogen-free supernova, there was nothing outstanding about this. But the progenitor star didn't match what we know about this type of supernova.

3. Ryan Foley:

   We used to talk about supernova work like we were crime scene investigators, where we would show up after the fact and try to figure out what happened to that star, this is a different situation, because we really know what's going on and we actually see the death in real time.

4. Peter Garnavich:

5. Chris Pratt:

   This ups the ante for the last one in every way and shape you can imagine, it’s funnier, it moves faster, it’s richer, it has more dynamic stories, deeper emotional pull … we get to spend more time storytelling and less time giving expository backstory and origin story. It’s emotionally driven, character driven, relationship driven, epic space supernova that explodes and it’s bigger brighter faster than any movie you have ever seen.
