    Hi all , any idea how we take the image of the galaxy or how we measure the
    distance of our galaxy while still we can't traval to that distance or no human
    can take a camera to shuch far that galaxy ?

    Any idea ????

    Please explain the technology behind this.

    -Thanks In Advance -

    widesha adara ganna ona galaxy eken pita inna kenek gen :)

    maybe a robot can be sent to outer galaxy to get images.

    In this Planet
    There is a method called "Astronomical Distance Ladder". But it is too complicate.

    And there are some method that scientists use!

    Parallax - is the only direct method that we have to determine distances to objects outside the solar system.

    Open Clusters

    Open clusters form the second rung on the distance ladder and they are used to bridge the gap between parallax and Cepheid variables. The key concept behind using open clusters is that the only variation in brightness and color (temperature) among stars in an open cluster is due to the different masses of the stars. All other effects - metallicity, age, distance - are not present.

    Cepheid Variables

    In short, Cepheids are stars that vary in brightness very regularly, and the time each variation cycle takes is directly linked to their absolute magnitude. Thus, by measuring the period of the cycle, astronomers know how bright the star really is, and they can then calculate how far away it is based upon how bright it appears at Earth.

    RR Lyrae Variables

    Much like Cepheid variable stars, RR Lyrae variable stars pulsate with a period directly related to their absolute luminosity. These stars are red giants of similar or slightly less mass than the sun, and so they are generally much fainter than Cepheids. Because of this, they are useful only out to globular clusters in our own galaxy, and they cannot be observed in other galaxies. Consequently, they are useful in calibrating the globular cluster luminosity function (discussed below) and provide a link between the parallax method and the globular clusters.

    I don't know what is your educational background and how farsighted you are? Besides it may need length explanation. Just to suffice ever wondered how computer works (only 0's and 1's), know anything about CT scan - the way this kind of imaging is done or how DNA replicates itself, if you have any idea about these I may provide the links which you could explore!
