“He discovered small areas of mist which were in fact galaxies like our own, millions of light years away from us, which proved that the universe was vastly larger than had previously been thought”
The point I'm puzzled at lies in the part after"than", i.e."had previously been thought". What a kind of structure is that? Who or what had previously been thought? Why isn't there a preposition after "thought"? Or is there something ommitted? Then what is the complete one? I need your help. Thanks!
