Question!!?

[BO-DEN]

i saw a picture of the milky way.....

my question is im looking at our galaxy and im thinking:

1- how do they have a picture from outside our GALAXY it takes years to get to mars... .wouldnt it take thousands of years to reach the outside of the GALAXY!?

2-also we have pictures of other galaxys... wouldnt planets and moons get in the way of our telescopes (galaxys are huge blobs of solar systems and stars)???



just curiouse

it's enough to make you wonder if there really are those things out there, isn't it?

Everything puts of radiation in some form or another and at one speed or another.

Those mass area of dishes around the planet are able to measure the mass of objects, their direction, location and what they are based on radiation signatures. It's simply a matter of filtering the different levels.

Sounds simple to me...

Before this they were eyeballing stuff and doing daily measurements through telescope pics. Actually a system similar to ours was discovered a few years ago in orion by a astronomer in hawaii using the eyeball approach. She too ten years of data to develop the movement pattersn of the star and planets. Pretty amazing considering her determination. Once she published her claim then the folks @ nasa verified it with the hubble.

Neat shit!!!

And if that isn't enough, you're seeing pictures from hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years in the past.

The Milky Way is actually the view looking OUTWARD, away from the core. The core itself is almost completely blocked off by dust clouds. Shows up well on a radio scan, somewhat less so in infrared. It's real dark when you look that way in the visible light bands.

I went looking for maps of the Milky Way galaxy on Google last year and found a few that were pretty awesome, but it's still easier to see others, like Andromeda, than to visualize our own.

(The core is more or less in the direction of Sagittarius if you want to look it up on a star map.)

yeah were way off on the western part of the spiral toward the outer edge? If I'm correct?

i learned alot

this just is sooo amazing to look at how they can take pictures like this....

And what you're seeing is radiation/light from ancient past.

this thread goes way over my head. thanks.

fucking amazing
