Can we explore the Milky Way?
The technology required to travel between galaxies is far beyond humanity’s present capabilities, and currently only the subject of speculation, hypothesis, and science fiction. However, theoretically speaking, there is nothing to conclusively indicate that intergalactic travel is impossible.
Can we see outside the Milky Way?
The answer is no – unless you count seeing the combined light of many billions of stars. From the Northern Hemisphere, the only galaxy outside our Milky Way that’s easily visible to the eye is the great galaxy in the constellation Andromeda, also known as M31. This is the edgewise view into our own Milky Way galaxy.
Where are we in the Milky Way right now?
We’re about 26,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy, on the inner edge of the Orion-Cygnus Arm. It’s sandwiched by two primary spiral arms, the Sagittarius and Perseus Arms.

Can you see Milky Way without camera?

Can we see Milky Way in India?
These are some of the best places in India where you can absorb yourself in the serene charm of the Milky Way. Located at an altitude of about 3050 m, this valley is a star-gazer’s dream. The barren land blanketed by a star-filled sky is a sight to behold. This is a land locked river basin in Ladakh.
Can we see inside other galaxies?
Answer: Yes, you can see a few other galaxies without using a telescope! The nearby Andromeda Galaxy, also called M31, is bright enough to be seen by the naked eye on dark, moonless nights. The Andromeda Galaxy is the only other (besides the Milky Way) spiral galaxy we can see with the naked eye.
