This August 2008 image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory show a clear separation between dark and ordinary matter during a clash 5.7 billion light years from Earth. Mysterious "dark energy" works simultaneously to expand the universe and shrink objects inside it, astronomers in the United States said Tuesday. (AFP/NASA/File)
The Hubble Space Telescope has spied the most distant supernova ever, an 11-billion-year-old exploding star whose existence suggests that a repulsive 'dark energy' is spurring the expansion of the universe. Astronomers saw the supernova in 1997 but did not know until recently that it was the furthest and therefore the oldest of its kind ever observed, scientists said April 2, 2001 in a briefing at NASA headquarters.

LHC is European. Gaia is European.
Any American equipment (other than the Hubble) involved in this?
I know there are a lot of American physicists working at the LHC so I guess it doesn’t matter.
Just curious.
