The Nobel Prize winners

Saul Perlmutter, Adam Reiss, and Brian Schmidt won the Nobel Prize for physics by discovering that the universe is expanding. They discovered this by experimenting on normal candles and using very powerful telescopes.They won $10,000,000 which they had to split up since they all had a part in their work.What really helped them was a substaince called dark energy or matter which holds objects in place and causes  movments like revolutions around the sun.They started this in 1944.

     Saul Perlmutter,Adam Riess, and Brian Schmidt discovered this theory with a telescope and Galileo discovered the heliocentric theory using a telescope.This means they both proved evidence using the same thing which is telescope.
