Before this, we thought everything existed in our Milky way, which is only about 100 000 light years across. We have since discovered thousands of galaxies, millions and billions of light years away! And we've learnt so much about the history of our universe 🔭🌌#Astronomy #History
On this day (Dec 30) 100 years ago, humanity's view of the universe completely changed!

Edwin Hubble announced the discovery that Andromeda was another Galaxy, and it sits *beyond* our Milky way. We figured out the Milky way is one of billions of galaxies. 🌌🔭#Astronomy #History
