Just a bit more than a century ago, there was a raging debate
among astronomers about whether or not our Milky Way was the only galaxy in the
universe. We now know, of course, that many of those fuzzy little objects that
astronomers could see were in fact whole other galaxies, and that there are
hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.
