alaxies were initially discovered telescopically and were known as spiral nebulae.

Most 18th to 19th Century astronomers considered them as either unresolved star
clusters or anagalactic nebulae, and were just thought as a part of the Milky Way,
but their true composition and natures remained a mystery. Observations using
larger telescopes of a few nearby bright galaxies, like the Andromeda Galaxy, began
resolving them into huge conglomerations of stars, but based simply on the apparent
faintness and sheer population of stars, the true distances of these objects placed
them well beyond the Milky Way. For this reason they were popularly called island
universes, but this term quickly fell into disuse, as the word universe implied the
entirety of existence. Instead, they became known simply as galaxies.[19]alaxies
