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.
What else can I help you with?
Describe two key aspects of quasars?
Bright, distant, powerful, energetic, at the center of the galaxy.
According to Hubble's Law the most distant clusters of galaxies are?
The basic idea of Hubble's Law is that galaxies (or galaxy clusters) that are farther away move away from us faster than those that are closer to us.The most distant galaxy yet found is a protogalaxy with the designation UDFj-39546284, with a redshift z = 11.9, about 13.42 billion light-years distant from the Milky Way.In case you are asking for the most distant CLUSTER of galaxies, and not the most distant astronomical galaxy, the answer would be the cluster (or protocluster, science is not yet sure about the nature of this structure) which denomination is BoRG-58 , with a redshift z≅8, and about 12 billion light-years distant from us.
What are the spectral lines of starlight from distant galaxies?
They are the characteristic frequencies of the elements "burning up" in the stars in the galaxy interspersed with absorption lines of other material between these elements and the earth. All these wavelengths will be increased by the red shift which results from the galaxy receding from the earth.
Where in the milky way galaxy is castor star found?
Present estimates of the dimensions of the Milky Way galaxy place its diameter at roughly 100,000 light years.The star "Castor" in the constellation of Gemini is about 50 light years distant from our solar system,or roughly 0.05 percent of the distance across the galaxy.Castor is closer to us than your average next-door neighbor.
What is the meaning of galactic?

What galaxy is Earh a part of?
The Earth resides in the system Sol, which resides in the Milky Way galaxy.
What is a sentence using galaxy?
I see that you are not from this galaxy. I would like to direct you to the next galaxy. I would like for you to name the galaxy in which our solar system resides.
What color are distant galaxy's?
They are red shifted.
Where is the distant galaxy?

Which is the most distant galaxy visible to the unaided eye?
The Andromedia.
Can you measure distant galaxies?
Yes. What is it you want to measure about a galaxy?
Is it the most distant dwarf galaxy when it's 13.2 billion light years from Earth?
Yes, it's the most distant dwarf galaxy 13.2 billion light-years from Earth (i.e. PCB2012 3020 in the MACS J1149+2223 galaxy cluster).
How does light from distant galaxy . galaxy out side of 32000000 light years support the big bang theory?
The light from distant galaxies is redshifted. The only reasonable explanation for that is that the galaxies are moving away from us.
Is it the most distant dwarf galaxy when it's 13.3 billion light years from Earth?
Yes, it's the most distant dwarf galaxy 13.3 billion light-years from Earth (i.e. CZC2013 MACS0647-JD1 in the MACS J0647+7015 galaxy cluster).
Is it the most distant spiral galaxy when it's 10.7 billion light years from Earth?
Yes, it's the most distant spiral galaxy 10.7 billion light-years from Earth (i.e. BX442 in the Pegasus constellation).
Describe two key aspects of quasars?
