(Equation of State: Supernovae Trace Cosmic Expansion)
(survey using supernova data to study dark energy)

ESSENCE (for Equation of State: Supernovae Trace Cosmic Expansion) was a project to survey Type Ia supernovae and draw conclusions about dark energy. A search for supernovae was carried out on the Víctor M. Blanco Telescope, with follow-up observations with spectrographs. Observations were carried out 2002-2007.
