Galileo wrote this, 400 years ago in 1610:
"What we observed in the third place is the essence, namely the matter, of the Milky Way, which can be seen so clearly with the aid of the telescope that what philosophers found for centuries an excruciating problem has been solved with ocular certainty thus freeing us from wordy disputes"

Aristotle maintained that the Milky Way was a celestial fog
