Every star you see is in the Milky Way, so you can say it is visible throughout the year. A particular line that looks like a trail or a sort of milky way goes through the night sky and can also be seen all year round in different constellations.
How is it that we have photographs of the Milky Way galaxy as if it were a distant entity yet the photos were taken from earth which resides in it?
We can not take a photo of the Milky Way as if we were at some distance from it. However we do know that the Milky Way is a Bard Spiral Galaxy with, we believe, 4 distinct spiral arms. This information enables artists to depict what the Milky Way would look like form a distance but these depictions are not photographs.Some good photographs of how the Milky Way looks from Earth are linked to below.
Has NASA sent a satellite to the milky way?
We are already in the Milky Way. No satellite has ever left it.
Messier 31is the nearest what to the earth?
Messier 31 or M31 or the Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest large spiral galaxy to Earth.It is commonly assumed wrongly to be the closest galaxy to our own but other smaller galaxies are closer.

What revolves around the Milky Way galaxy?
There are two satellite galaxies, the Greater Magellanic Cloud and the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, which orbit the Milky Way.
What is the relationship between the moon and the Milky Way galaxy?
The moon is a natural satellite of Earth and is not directly related to the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our solar system, including Earth and the moon. The moon orbits Earth, not the Milky Way.
How many satellite galaxies orbit the Milky Way?
Oh, that's a wonderful question! You know, the Milky Way actually has quite a few satellite galaxies, all gathered around like dear friends in a cozy painting. Scientists estimate there are about 50 or so different satellite galaxies gracefully dancing around our beautiful Milky Way galaxy. Can you picture it now, right there in your mind's eye?
How to capture the Milky Way in a photograph?
To capture the Milky Way in a photograph, use a DSLR camera with manual settings, a wide-angle lens, and a sturdy tripod. Find a location with minimal light pollution, set the camera to a high ISO, wide aperture, and long exposure. Experiment with different settings to achieve the desired result.
Is the sun a satelite?
The definition of a satellite is an object that orbits a planet. Therefore by definition, the sun cannot be a satellite. The solar system does, however, travel around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.
When is the best time to photograph the milky way in the northern hemisphere?
The best time to photograph the Milky Way in the northern hemisphere is typically from late spring to early fall, specifically between April and October. During these months, the core of the Milky Way is visible in the night sky, with peak visibility around July and August. To capture the best images, aim for nights with little to no moonlight and consider locations away from light pollution for clearer views. Clear skies and low humidity also enhance visibility and image quality.
What is the milky ways closest galaxy?
The nearest galaxy which is not a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy, just over 2 million light years away.
What is an examples of Bulges?
An example of a bulge in astronomy is the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way with a distinct central bulge of stars.
What is the Milky Way in the sky?
There no milky way in sky there is only milky way galaxy
How many meters across would your field of view need to be to see the entire Milky Way and its two satellite galaxies?
To see the entire Milky Way galaxy and its two satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud, your field of view would need to be at least 100,000 light-years across. This distance is much larger than what is measurable in meters, as the Milky Way is estimated to be about 100,000-120,000 light-years in diameter.
