Galaxies

About this episode

For most of human existence, we looked up at the night sky and thought that was all there was to the universe.

However, in the 20th century, as telescopes improved, we made a shocking discovery. The universe was much, much larger than we supposed, and some of those points of light in the sky were, in fact, collections of stars themselves. 

Learn more about galaxies, what they are made of, and all about our own, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
