WFIRST and Type Ia Supernovae (IMAGE) DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Caption This is a rendering of WFIRST with an image of the spiral galaxy NGC 2441. A type Ia supernova, SN1995E, is circled in red. A scientific team including Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley scientists will use WFIRST to gather precise measurements from type Ia supernovae that will provide new insight on dark energy.
