by DR. MICHAEL HOSKIN
University of Cambridge
Only half a century ago distinguished astronomers believed our own Galaxy represented the limits of space. Others, however, were suggesting that objects seen in their telescopes were ' extragalactic ' nebulae — island universes. The dispute reached a climax in 1920 in a great debate at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. The principal antagonists were HEBER CURTIS and HARLOW SHAPLEY
DR. HOSKIN reconstructs this battle of the intellectual giants
