As standard candles for cosmology

Original apparent evidence, from observation of type IA supernovae, for positive dark energy (as in de Sitter spacetime) and hence for the “standard model of cosmology” (but notice that the conclusion has been debated, see the references here and see at inhomogeneous cosmology):

Later improved measurements started to be in tension with results of the Planck Collaboration:
