Nikolai De Silva Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 These are rare photos in the 1929 Encyclopaedia Brittanica. These are 94 years old for now and goodies from the past! Nikolai. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Interestingly the encyclopedia editors called what we now know as galaxies the classification name "nebula" back in 1929. It wasn't until Edwin Hubble's work in the 1930s proved that many of these objects, previously thought to be clouds of dust and gas, then classified as "nebulae" were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way. Great find Nikolai. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
