An exceptionally rare supernova that could open a new way to determine the expansion rate of the universe – finding a supernova located directly behind a gravitational lens is less than one in a million

Ummm, with approximately 2×10^(23) stars in the observable universe, and an estimated somewhere around 10 to 100 supernova per SECOND, one in a million is not all that rare. It’s just our timescale as meatwads is vanishingly short at universe scales.
