Our galaxy has never been photographed on the whole has it. If it has then stop me from ridiculing myself further. Anyway, I was thinking of ways in which we can view our galaxy from outside and have come up with a rather rather idea. Why not take a planet with no atmosphere and has water, then the water will reflect light right into space. So if we can look into the correct planet in the right angle, we can see ourselves, i.e our galaxy as viewed from that point and can easily take a picture of our own galaxy. You are more than welcome to give in your ideas(so, I can use them for my own greater good), and might as well criticize my own idea. Yeah, why not,, unless you're a nihilist.
