Images from space, of supernovae and the cosmic background, may provide confirmation of a Space/Time Theory. In review, current Theory proposes that our Universe is a 4-dimensional Space/Time of radial scale R=ct, our separation from the "Big Bang". Relativity further requires that GM=tc^3, where G is Newton's constant, M and t are mass and age of the Universe. Coupled to Einstein-Friedmann equations, these expressions predict a density (Omega)=1 and an Einstein-de Sitter expansion. Theory explains expansion, density, baryonic matter, CMB and supernova data without artificial parameters. Data from Type Ia supernovae provide a first test of Theory. Redshift increases linearly with distance at low Z, indicating (Omega)=1 and an Einstein-de Sitter expansion as predicted. At high redshifts v/c has been observed to increase nonlinearly, suggesting acceleration. Alternately the data shows that c has decreased at exactly the rate predicted. The cosmic microwave background provides another test. Location of the first acoustic peak also indicates an overall density (including matter, dark mass and energy) of (Omega)=1. The proportion of baryonic matter confirms prediction of 4.507034%. Theory allows such measurements to be precisely predicted. Observations from two supernova research groups and WMAP are shown. From the data one may conclude: 1) The Universe has density (Omega)=1 2) The Universe expands as predicted. 3) The value of c is as predicted. The first two conclusions are shown by the first acoustic peak and the overall slope of redshifts. Third conclusion is shown by the upward curve of high redshifts. Data from spacecraft allows a precise check of Theory. Present observations indicate that the Universe has behaved according to Theory since the distant past. Future space missions will be highly valuable in providing further tests. Applications extend from the large-scale Universe of Relativity to the microscopic world of quantum mechanics. Since Space/Time precisely predicts observations without unknown parameters, it should be considered as an alternative to more cumbersome ideas.
