Questions
In this investigation, you have learned how to classify (categorize) types of supernovae according to the shape of their light curves. Provide an example of how your personal life and/or society have been affected by the use of categories.
At the beginning of the investigation, you were asked to share what you knew about measuring distances in space. Look back to the first page of the investigation to reflect on your initial response. Now that you have further explored this topic, how would you add to your initial response to explain how supernovae are used to measure distances in space?
