They use them to determine the distances of galaxies through the "standard candle" called a type Ia supernova, which are always caused by white dwarfs. They are so bright that they will outshine the galaxy they are in.
Because the universe is expanding, the greater a galaxy's distance from us, the greater its red shift. If we know that a certain event has a standard brighteness and we know that the red shift increases at a predictable rate as well, we can use these type Ia supernovae to measure how far off these galaxies are and from this, how long they've had to travel away from a common centre.
It is estimated that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old.
What else can I help you with?
Why have no white dwarfs cooled to form black dwarfs in the galaxy?
According to astronomers and authors Jonathan Weiner and Carl Sagan, white dwarfs - which have been an accepted entities by all astronomers for decades - require an amount of time to "cool down" that well exceeds the current age of the universe - hence there hasn't been enough time for any of them to cool down yet and become "black dwarfs".
Do astronomers believe in black dwarfs?
Black Dwarfs are still theoretical bodies in the Universe. Belief and scientific observations are two different things. In theory, they will exist, but until one is observed, there existence can not be confirmed. See related question
Are there more white dwarfs of more black holes?
I think white dwarfs. This is because they are much more low mass than black holes. White dwarfs are much more common in the universe than black holes, because we have only discovered a few black holes whereas we are aware of many white dwarfs.
What are some examples of back dwarfs?
There are currently no black dwarfs. The time it would take for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.
Are white dwarfs one of the densest forms of matter?
Yes, white dwarfs are one of the densest forms of matter in the universe. They are incredibly compact and have densities that can be hundreds of thousands of times greater than that of Earth. This high density is a result of the immense gravitational forces acting on the star's core.
Why do astronomers use white dwarfs to date the universe?
They don't.

The galactic distances used to measure the acceleration of the universe are determined by observations of what?
exploding white dwarfs

There are currently no black dwarfs. The time it would take for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.
How long will a black dwarf star live?
It is unknown. Scientists belive that, since the life length of white dwarfs are so long, there aren't any black dwarfs in our universe yet.

Why no red dwarfs have become white dwarfs?
Red dwarfs have not yet evolved into white dwarfs because red dwarfs are much less massive than other types of stars that do become white dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the smallest and coolest stars, and they have not burned through their fuel quickly enough to go through the stage of becoming a white dwarf. It will take billions of years for a red dwarf to cool and fade into a white dwarf.
How Many Black Dwarfs are thought to exist?
No black dwarfs are thought to exist. The estimated time it takes for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf is greater than the current age of the universe.
What occupationdo the Dwarfs in Snow White have?
Did Snow White ever had sex with the dwarfs
