The LENSNOVA project proposes a breakthrough both in cosmology and stellar physics, capitalising on 10 years of experience in the field of strong lensing time delays. Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) can now be watched on prime seats through strong lensing, where multiple images of the same SN appear at different times/locations around a foreground lens galaxy. After the first SN appears, the next SN occurrence (of the same SN event) can be predicted and observed in its entirety for the first time in history and with unprecedented temporal sampling. Observations of the beginning of SN explosions are key to revealing SN progenitors, that have been under debate for decades. Strongly lensed SNe Ia…
