The Hubble telescope has had a marked role to play in many discoveries, not least of which has been to strengthen the hypothesis that dark energy causes the expansion of the Universe to accelerate. It was also instrumental in narrowing down the estimated age of the Universe from 10 to 20 billion years to 13 to 14 billion, as well as giving astronomers detailed information on supernovae, and galaxies in various evolutionary states.
