SN UDS10Wil (SN Wilson)[4] is atype Ia supernova, and as of April 2013, the farthest known.[5]
It has aredshift of 1.914, which strongly implies that it exploded when the universe was about a third of its current size. It was discovered with theHubble Space Telescope'sWide Field Camera 3.[1] The nickname SN Wilson is after theAmerican PresidentWoodrow Wilson.[6]
