Lets face it most of astronomical knowledge is still new and constantly under debate. The debates of the past seem trivial to us now, in certain respects at least, but I wonder where we would be with out them. Of course the great debates of the past still go on. I guess the most notable great debate in astronomy that comes to my mind first is the Curtis-Shapley debate. This is rather interesting and I would suggest you give it a look over. An excellent site on this is: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/debate/debate20.html They also cover a few more up to date debates on this site that I am not as aware of occurring but are very interesting see: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/debate/debate.html
