Yes, scientists can look at space and take pictures of it.. the first time this happened was in the mid 1960's when the voyager was launched. It sent back picture's of space to Earth.. almost half a century later it has final reached the edges of our milky way and take pictures of beyond.

Why is a light year a unit of distance rather than time?

A light year is a distance measurement because it would take something a year travelling at the speed of light to cross. It is called a light year because it helps astrologers/scientists understand the vastness of the distance between two things; for example, Our Galaxy (The Milky Way Galaxy) and our nearest Galaxy (Andromeda Galaxy)

Are there any real pictures of the whole Milky Way Galaxy?

No. We can't take a picture of the whole Milky Way from inside the middle of it. We would need to somehow get a camera outside of the galaxy to take that picture.


Why are there no photos of the whole of your galaxy?

Because we have never traveled outside of our galaxy in order to look back at it and take a picture of it. It will be a long time, if ever, before we ever have an actual picture of our galaxy seeing as we are about 23 light years away from the edge of the galaxy. If we left today and traveled 35,000 mph (the rate of the fastest object ever made by man, the Voyager probe) to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy, it would take around 456,400 years. So I wouldn't count on seeing a picture of our galaxy in our lifetime.

How do you get a good picture of what your milky way galaxy looks like?

Technically, you cannot take a picture of our own galaxy from outside, as the camera would have to travel tens of thousands of light-years out of the galaxy to do so. However, if you're on Earth, you see a large stream of countless stars in the night sky. That is part of the milky way galaxy. The "pictures" you see in the newspapers are just artists' impressions of how the Milky Way would look, not the actually appearance.


Why are there no photographs of your galaxy similar to the milky way?

Our galaxy is very large, it would take several hundred years travelling at the speed of light just to get out of it, then thousands of years more at that speed to get far enough out to look back for a good picture. The incredible distances involved mean that we cant take an external shot of our own galaxy, the best we can do is take pictures within the galaxy and put a map together that way. We are limited to what we can see of our galaxy from where we are though, as there is a lot of intergalactic gas and dust obscuring our view.
