How do scientists or astronomers know if galaxies aren't really inside of our galaxy? Maybe they are just clouds with stars and dust? Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but its just something I wanted to ask.

I suggest this webpage:

curious.astro.cornell.edu...

(Scroll down and you'll find a question similar to yours: How can we know that there are other galaxies if we cannot leave ours?)

And about man behind that discovery, Edwin Hubble, who is ranked as leading observing astronomer of 20th century.

But of course everyone should know this.

being knowledgable isnt all about having the knowledge, but also knowing where and how to attain it.
