The Galaxy sometimes changes our view of what we thought or concluded before only by guessing....

Explanation:

. THE COPERNICAN MODEL**** -It was developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and it stated that the sun is at the center of the universe. It was motionless and all the other planets like earth,mars,etc revolve around it in a circular path. But later they came to know that our universe is a very big one and the sun is situated in a galaxy known as MILKY WAY and all the planets revolved around the sun in an elliptical path.
