I present a review of the research and analysis paths that converged to makeType Ia SNe the most mature cosmological distance estimator of the presenttime. The narrative starts with the first works in the early decades of the20th century and finishes with the more recent results. The review was writtenby a member of the High Z Supernova Search Team, the international group ofastronomers that discovered Cosmic Acceleration in 1998. This result, confirmedby the Supernova Cosmology Project in 1999, received an impressive string ofrecognition culminating with the current Nobel prize in Physics. The review ispresented thinking of physicists with a strong interest in Cosmology, who mighthave pondered why was that, after decades of not being able to agree upon therate of cosmic expansion, astronomers were so quick to concur on cosmicacceleration.
