Why is it important that the supernovae being observed, which led to the idea of dark energy, are high z (remember z is another name for redshift) supernovae?
High z supernovae have light redshifted enough to see in the visible spectrum with our telescopes.
High z supernovae are always paired with Cepheid star systems, so we can calculate their distances.
High z supernovae are brighter than regular supernovae.
High z means that the supernovae are far enough away for us to detect changes in the expansion rate.
