7 greatest discoveries by NASA's Hubble Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and it is still in operation. Here are 7 greatest discoveries by NASA' Hubble Space Telescope

NASA's Hubble Telescope discovered Supermassive black hole, a black hole more than one hundred thousand times the mass of the Sun.

Hubble Telescope discovered composition of the universe which is made up of three main components: normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy.

The dark energy, discovered by Hubble's Telescope, is a mysterious substance makes up 27% of the universe. It doesn't emit or reflect light, but it does pull things together with gravity.

A galaxy is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity.

Hubble discoveries in the field of star formation in the early Universe include the realisation that stars and galaxies formed earlier in cosmic history than previously thought.

Numbat: They are small marsupials native to Western Australia. They live in underground burrows and primarily feed on termites.

The Hubble Deep Field is an image of a small region in the constellation Ursa Major, constructed from a series of observations by the Hubble Space Telescope.
