The Hubble telescope has expanded man's understanding of the universe in many ways. Here are a few:

* helped astronomers determine the age of the universe much more accurately, * played a key role in discovering that a mysterious form of energy called dark energy is making the universe expand at a faster and faster rate, * detected the elements sodium, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen in the atmosphere of a a large planet outside our solar system, * confirmed most galaxies have a black hole at their center, * proved that quasars, tremendous generators of light and other radiation which lie at the outer reaches of the universe, are located at the center of galaxies,
