The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has revolutionized modern astronomy since it was first launched into orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Not since the invention of the telescope in the 17th century, have the mysteries of the universe been uncovered at such a rapid pace. The most detailed looks at the farthest galaxies in the universe have been obtained using images taken by the HST. It has made some extraordinary discoveries, the most notable being the confirmation of dark matter, observations supporting the accelerating universe theory, and studies of newly discovered planets outside our solar system [1].
